I'm really concerned about my toe since I had the toenail removed. It's been a week now, and the pain hasn't gone away. I make sure to get alternate dressings, but I'm worried that this isn't normal. Is there something else I should be doing, or is this typical for toenail removal recovery?

- Incomplete healing: The wound may not be healing properly, leading to ongoing pain.
- Pressure or friction: Ill-fitting shoes or socks may be causing pressure or friction on the affected toe.
- Keep the wound clean and dry: Continue with alternate dressing and ensure the wound is cleaned and dried properly.
- Elevate your foot: Whenever possible, elevate your foot above the level of your heart to reduce swelling.

Is it possible to get surgery to make my feet smaller because they're really big and it's causing me discomfort or making it hard to find shoes that fit right

My breasts sag a lot and I think it's causing severe back pain. Are there any remedies for this or should I consider surgery? What would you recommend?
If sagging breasts are causing back pain, it's a good idea to explore both conservative and surgical options. Conservative measures like wearing a well-fitting bra, maintaining a healthy weight, and strengthening back muscles can help. If these aren't sufficient, breast lift surgery could be considered, but it's important to discuss your concerns and options with a doctor or plastic surgeon.
