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.

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

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.

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?

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

I've been dealing with this issue where I pulled an edge of my toenail, and it's been really painful and swollen ever since. I tried to fix it by cutting the corner of the nail that was digging into the skin, and I thought it was better. But the pain is still there, and it's been going on like this for about 23 weeks now. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on and how I can get some relief?
