I've had flat feet in both legs since childhood and the pain is getting unbearable even standing for just 10 minutes leaves me in severe pain. It's affecting my gym workouts and sports because I can barely walk properly afterward. Are there any medicines or ointments that could give me temporary relief without needing surgery?

Flat foot pain may be reduced with orthotics, physical therapy, and anti-inflammatories—surgery only if severe deformity.

View allI'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 had a foot corn for over a year now that won't go away no matter what I try, even used Watnil solution without success. Is surgery the only permanent fix for this or are there other long-term solutions that actually work? I'm worried it might keep coming back even after treatment.
While surgery can be an option, it's not always the first or only choice for a persistent foot corn. Other long-term solutions, like addressing the underlying causes and using professional treatments, can also be effective.

I've had ingrown toenails causing wounds in both toes for almost 3 years now. When I went to the doctor they scheduled surgery but the anesthetic shots were extremely painful - they gave me 8 injections and it still didn't work so they referred me to a bigger hospital. Now I'm really scared of getting those anesthetic injections again. Is there any other way to treat ingrown toenail wounds without injections? What could happen if I don't get treatment for this?
Chronic ingrown toenail needs surgical correction; anesthetic options include nerve block—untreated cases may lead to chronic infection or tissue damage.
