I had a flat foot reconstruction and a tendon transfer on 11/21/2025. I have a few questions 1) does your foot have a bunch of random numb areas? Does it come back? I’m about 3 weeks…
This is my new favorite find! These are orthotic walking shoes. They are flat enough to keep your feet in a heeling postion but cushioning enough to feel great. I’ve only been able to…
Hello! When I joined it said take a pic and introduce yourself! Well, I’m Vicki, why anyone wants to see what “used to be” nice, cute straight feet, is beyond me, but here we are! I…

Pain help! Seems like a lot of people stop pain meds after a few days, I had a pain pump that last 3.5 days after surgery. Now I feel hardly any pain where the "cutting" of the bone…
I have a question for any professional/specialists or anyone who has been down this road that might see this. I had chevron osteotomy on both feet. What type of physio and exercise…

Day 5 post surgery.. realistically how long after surgery did you have your foot elevated? My doctor said the first 3 days is most important so I was out of bed to show
Day 13 and stitches out. Overall it truly has not be as bad as I thought. I truly believe elevation and ice behind my knee is the key. This is what was done: . 1)Distal modified…

Has anyone had a toenail permanently removed and with the chemical treatment so it won’t grow back? Did the fungus come back for anyone?

Hi everyone me removed this nail before 6 months now coming but to much infection again going inside so what is solution for this plz
Is this fungus or I just hit my nail? It was with nail.polish for many months, today I removed the color and found this. The yellow color I think its due to the nail polish..
Trying to decide…( hopefully once and for all) I have had toenail fungus for more than 10years and in the last 5 years I’ve had it on all toenails. I’m very tired of it. Havent tried…
Would having the toenail(s) completely removed and acid applied to nail root to stop the growth back get rid of the fungus all together
If you have gotten your toenail removed, which specialist did this for you?
