Question 1

I've been dealing with something weird going on with my foot for the past few months and Im a bit worried. It started with a sharp pain in a specific spot under my right foot and at first, I thought I just stepped on something by accident. But then this small, pea-sized area developed extra layers of skin and eventually formed a kind of hole. Theres no blood or pus, but it hurts a lot when I walk. Oddly, when Im sitting or sleeping, it sometimes feels like nothings wrong. If I poke that spot though, the pain is pretty severe. Ive been walking slowly to avoid putting pressure on it, but now thats messing with my knee. What could this be? Any advice on what I should do?

Accepted Answer

X-ray rt foot P and Oblique view is advised to the patient. Ortho opinion is advised.

Question 2

I've had bunions on both toes since birth and really want to avoid surgery are there any exercises or devices that could help correct them over time

Accepted Answer

While congenital bunions (present since birth) are less responsive to conservative treatments than those that develop later in life, there are still exercises and devices that can help manage pain and potentially slow their progression. Focusing on strengthening foot muscles, improving toe movement, and using supportive devices can be beneficial.

Question 3

I've been dealing with ingrown toenails on both big toes for a long time now and it's really painful. What's the best permanent solution for this should I consider surgery or are there other effective treatments that can stop it from coming back?

Accepted Answer

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I'm having some pain in my ankle and I'm worried it might be because of my flat foot. It seems to hurt the most when I get up in the morning or after I've been sitting for a while. Do you think this could be plantar fasciitis? I'm not sure what to do about it.
