My Answers

I have a lot of heel pain in the mornings after going for a walk. What can I do to treat it?
Heel pain has been the predominant complaint in my 38-year run as a podiatrist. Most of the symptoms range from pain when first stepping down in the morning to pain after long periods of ambulation.The heel absorbs 4-5 times your body weight during running. The muscle that inserts on the heel - the plantar fascia - is a very wide muscle the easily becomes inflamed from overuse, which is termed plantar fasciitis.There can also be microtears of the fascia that are also painful.There may also be a calcium deposit called a heel spur that the plantar fascia inserts around that location which can causes pain after long periods of ambulation. The initial treatment is visit your podistrist and have him order an X-ray. And whatever you do, do NOT go to Wal Mart and stand on that moronic machine and have them make a dysfunctional device that will cause more problems than you already have. READ MORE
Right below my big toe hurts when putting on my shoes. What should be done?
Pain associated with shoes is usually a constriction problem. It could be putting pressure on the toenail, the bone underneath the nail, or the nerves running alongside the nail - all causing different types of pain. Seems pretty simple: try wider shoes. If that works, fine, if not, see your podiatrist. READ MORE
I have what looks like a blister but it isn't going away. It's also painful. What should I do?
There is always a natural tendency to lance or "pop" a blister, especially seeing drs prostituting themselves by having TV shows dedicated to "pimple popping." That is okay if you use sterile instrumentation and have no medical conditions, but make sure you seek professional help - it can be a simple blister or a precursor to a more severe bacterial infection. READ MORE
I have flat feet and running is becoming painful. What should I do?
Flat feet is usually an inherited condition that allows your foot to "move around" thus putting pressure on areas of your foot that normally don't bear weight causing tired and aching feet. I strongly recommend seeing a foot specialist since there are so many foot insert "wannabes" that do not evaluate the condition properly that recommend crap that you'll throw out after initial use. A REAL insert is molded properly, and the material used is specifically chosen for the individual condition. They run about $600.00, so, if you don't have the finances or insurance that covers them, there are other excellent inserts the doctor can recommend you can buy online. READ MORE
I have a blue spot on my heel which looks like a blood clot. What could this be?
A blue spot on your heel can be from multiple causes. The lower portion of the heel on the side of the big toe is the area where the veins "pool." It's like a varicose vein. If you have a blood clot, it can start in the back of the leg at the ankle region. Relax and make an appointment with your doc. READ MORE
How can I prevent corn in my feet from happening again?
The key issue to is finding the area of your foot that may be the spot that is causing the friction spot; that is usually the area the corn is appearing. The corn is the body's way of protecting the area by "cushioning" it with the dead skin or corn. Find the area and you'll find the cause of the corn and you and your podiatrist can take it from there. READ MORE
A glass pricked my foot and even after a month the spot hurts. What should I do?
The first thing to do is to examine if there's any mark on the skin where you have the pain. An area that still has any fragments will cause the tissues to leave a mark or opening on the surface. If the pain persists, an X-ray is recommended to see if and fragments remain even though all glass is nor seen on an X-ray, but it would be a starting point. But I'm sure your podiatrist will lead you in the right direction. READ MORE
I am experiencing foot pain while sitting. What could be the reason?
This could be from simple arthritis-but as in most foot foot problems having an issue in both feet is generally a more benign condition than problems in just one foot.Stretch a little before you weight bear but never stop moving. READ MORE
Why are my feet so crooked?
Genetics rears its head in some foot conditions-especially when it comes to bunions and hammertoes.And it's usually from the Moms genetics so you can blame your Mom in a nice way and go get an Xray to see what the bone structure problem is.These problems will never resolve itself and are usually surgical cases.And also know that shoes accentuate the problem but usually never cause a problem.Most importantly, NEVER allow a surgeon talk you into a surgery.If it doesn't hurt before the surgery it can hurt worse after. READ MORE
Can anyone get athlete's foot?
Any dark,moist area is a breeding ground for athletes foot or fungus that usually grows in dark,moist areas. It can be transmitted so if you're not diabetic keep your feet dry with a powder of some sort and try an over the counter antifungal. If it doesn't your foot doctor should clear that up in 7-10 days. READ MORE
Does swelling around the ankle indicate a serious injury?
Swelling of the ankles can be a sign of routine vascular (venous) issues that manifest itself for issues that are non-life threatening, but if diagnosed early, can prevent more serious conditions in the future. Swelling from trauma can be a result of a possible fracture, but the ligaments or tendons could have been partially torn also, which is why an X-ray would always be recommended. READ MORE
What is the meaning of the term ballerina foot?
To be honest, never heard of it. I treated a fair amount of patients with ballet foot problems both related to the toe and forefoot, but didn't hear a specific syndrome. READ MORE
I have a corn in my foot. Can corn cap remove that?
A corn pad will cushion the pain from the thick hyperkeratotic skin..but only an x-ray will see exactly what is causing the lesion to develop will aid in seeing whether it can permanently corrected.Do not use the medicated acid corn pads..they can cause burning of the "good skin"around the callous. READ MORE
I have a painful, swollen ankle following an injury. What to do?
An x-ray should be taken to see if there was any bone involvement..if that is normal or there is any suspicious areas the next step would be an ultrasound or MRI to see if there's any soft tissue damage. READ MORE

Unfortunately, there are many types of fractures of the fibula...one type being called an avulsion fracture that can heal in 4-6 weeks...but more complicated fractures of the upper or proximal fibula can be more severe and require 3-4months of healing time .Good luck. READ MORE
