Are diabetic foot ulcers painful? So in general, diabetic foot ulcers can be split into two categories. Those that are really due to problems with neuropathy, i.e. nerves, and they tend to not be painful, and ulcers which have an element of arterial blockages, i.e. ischemia, and those ones can be painful for some patients who don't have neuropathy, so it can be a mixed bag.
