How are bunions removed?
I would try injections, orthotics, paddings and if that doesn't work, then surgery can definitely help.
Can bunions indicate an underlying foot problem?
Yes, you could have a nerve impingement since there are vessels that run along the inside of the bunion area and just like in the back, it may be compressed and cause pain. A good READ MORE
Yes, you could have a nerve impingement since there are vessels that run along the inside of the bunion area and just like in the back, it may be compressed and cause pain. A good exam, X-rays, and possible injection, padding custom insert, or surgery will alleviate all pain. Stop walking around in pain. There are so many conservative and surgical options for painful bunions. And if there's a family history, chances are the bunion pain will get worse.
Lots of luck.

Snapping noise and pain in heel or back of the ankle
You may need an MRI to evaluate the tendon. There are other conservative treatments besides cortisone (which I don't recommend in the Achilles area because it can weaken the tendon READ MORE
You may need an MRI to evaluate the tendon. There are other conservative treatments besides cortisone (which I don't recommend in the Achilles area because it can weaken the tendon even more). You can try compression over the area, non-cortisone injection, physical therapy, or a custom insert with a possible heel lift. There are lots of options and even non-invasive treatments such as PRP or TENEX.
I have a small growth around my ankle. Could it be serious?
I recommend excision and biopsy of the growth because until a pathologist sees the specimen under the microscope, you can never with 100% certainty r/o a malignancy.
I have a bulging bone just below my toe. What could it be?
Maybe it's a microfracture or an exostosis (extra bone). Could be the bones have subluxed. Please make an appointment to take X-rays and identify the cause of pain.
I think I have an ingrown toenail. What does this usually look like?
Most likely, you probably have one and there’re ways to make sure it never comes back. Have an X-ray to make sure there is no underlying bone spur. Until your appointment, soak READ MORE

My grandfather's wound is not healing. What should we do?
You must check his circulation because, without adequate circulation, no wound will heal even with all the antibiotics. It should be cleaned properly and debrided. Since he was READ MORE
You must check his circulation because, without adequate circulation, no wound will heal even with all the antibiotics. It should be cleaned properly and debrided. Since he was put on antibiotics, I hope a culture was taken. Circulation is most important for proper wound healing.
I have flat feet and running is becoming painful. What should I do?
Make an appointment. Most people with flat feet aren’t in the proper running shoes with the right orthotics/inserts. The doc would need to look at your foot and do a proper exam, READ MORE
Make an appointment. Most people with flat feet aren’t in the proper running shoes with the right orthotics/inserts. The doc would need to look at your foot and do a proper exam, watch you walk/run, and get you on the right path before any injuries. Having a flat foot predisposes you to a lot of injuries in the foot, ankles, knees, and back. Remember, the foot is connected to the rest of your body and if you have flat feet, it could be putting extra pressure on many other body parts.
How can I prevent corn in my feet from happening again?
You should have an X-ray to make sure there is no bony prominence causing the growth, which is usually the case. Make sure to wear wide shoes.
A glass pricked my foot and even after a month the spot hurts. What should I do?
You might have injured the nerve, which can take a long time to heal. Make sure there are no remaining shards of glass in the foot.
Why are my feet so crooked?
Custom orthotics; padding and strappings; wider shoes. Please make an appointment to evaluate your foot deformities.
Can I run with flat feet?
Yes. Make an appointment for an evaluation and possibly a custom foot orthotic so you are balancing out the pressure when running. With flat feet, the pressure is not divided evenly READ MORE

Why does my ankle sprain easily?
Once you suffer from an ankle injury, you are very susceptible to having another one and another one, especially if the area wasn’t treated 100%. You may need an MRI and X-rays READ MORE
Once you suffer from an ankle injury, you are very susceptible to having another one and another one, especially if the area wasn’t treated 100%. You may need an MRI and X-rays to see extent damage in the ankle. Laser therapy, injections, bracing, casting, and PRP can all help the ankle. Why are you falling to begin with? That needs to be addressed first.
Why am I experiencing ankle pain after two years of arthroscopic surgery?
I would make an appointment because there may be other things going on with the ankle. There could be arthritis and bone spurs that were unable to be removed arthroscopicaly or READ MORE
I would make an appointment because there may be other things going on with the ankle. There could be arthritis and bone spurs that were unable to be removed arthroscopicaly or nerve impingement. Maybe you are having pain from a different joint. Without the proper physical exam and imaging modalities it’s hard to say. But you shouldn’t be walking around in pain. There’s always a reason and solution.
