I've been dealing with a heel spur for the past 4 months and it's not healing even with homeopathic treatment. As someone with diabetes and hypertension, I'm worried about complications. Are there any effective non-surgical treatments I can try for this stubborn heel spur?

Whether surgery is needed depends on the exact diagnosis, size, and severity of the condition. Some cases can be managed without surgery, while others may require it for effective treatment. A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

Hey, I'm a 23-year-old and lately, I've been noticing these pulses on the inner part of my foot. It's been a few days now, and I can't figure out whether it's normal or if it's linked to stress or something else. Should I be worried about this? Are there any specific tests or checks that you'd suggest I go through to figure out what's happening?
1) Feeling pulses in the inner area of your foot can sometimes be normal, especially if you are young and physically active. However, if this sensation is persistent or accompanied by other symptoms such as pain, swelling, or discoloration, it may be a sign of an underlying issue. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation. 2) If you are concerned, your healthcare provider may recommend tests such as a Doppler ultrasound to assess blood flow in the foot, or a nerve conduction study to evaluate nerve function. These tests can help determine the cause of the pulsations and rule out any potential underlying conditions.
