Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A quick look tells me it's diabetic neuropathy, which is nerve damage
They always ask me that before they put in an IV, and my foot is still hurting from what I think is an IV from three or so weeks ago. I'm disturbed.

Now tagless for your comfort.
ita, diabetes causes degradation of the blood vessels, along with neuropathy. These two complications can mean decreased ability to detect cuts and infections in the extremities. My grandma lost a toe, then a foot, then most of her leg this way. Once the infections set it, it's difficult to control the problem.
My old doctor's office had a sign up asking diabetic patients to remove their shoes and socks so the doctors could examine their feet.

They ask you if you have diabetes? Shouldn't they know that from your chart?
Actually, if you had nerve damage there, it would probably *wouldn't* hurt.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I have a headache. I took Tylenol, but it's still there. Bleah.

They don't pay attention to the chart much, which is both comforting and tedious. So every time the nurse asks me if my family has a history of diabetes, which we do not.
But I do have nerve damage in my foot--I had a needle removed from that same foot 25 years ago and I can still feel the location every now and again. It was nestled right next to a nerve.
I'm pretty confident I'm not diabetic or nearly so, but this foot hurts too much, and it bothers me.

It's poorer circulation in general. Obviously, it's more work to get blood to the extremities so they are going to manifest more. Before he was regulated, MK would get abcesses practically anytime he got a scratch.
Tired. All day meetings tiring.

I think I won't let them go into my foot again. Or at least explain how long the last one hurt. They hate going into my neck, and I think it's gross, but at least it doesn't hurt for more than a day or two afterwards.
I can't believe it took me this long to work out that that female cop from Dexter was the one from NY Undercover. I kept (wrongly) placing her in Miami Vice, which is way too long ago.

His sister? Or Dexter's boss? You know the sister and Dexter (Michael C. Hall & memfault) got married, right?

Dexter's boss. Well, I'm guessing she's his boss in S3, since she re-took-over the role in S2. I'm behind.
I'm weirded out by the marriage because of the playing-sister thing, and the not-playing-well thing too. But I hear she's better in S3. Maybe that makes it all okay.
