Ans:
C

Feedback:

Peripheral neuropathy is often associated with the insensate foot. The loss of feeling, touch, sensation, and position sense increases the risk of falling, serious burns, and injuries to the feet. Burning in the big toe is usually associated with gout. Cramps in the legs may be electrolyte imbalances, and seeping wounds in lower legs could be a result of obesity, lymphedema, or diabetes to name a few.
