Dr. Andersen has tips on how to fix your foot pain. We invite you to call and tell us about it. You can call 888-472-3366 between 7 and 8 am EDT. Or email us: radio@PeoplesPharmacy.com.
How Can You Fix Your Foot Pain?
If your feet don’t feel good, you won’t either. Just imagine stubbing your toe. Ouch, that hurt! But stubbed toes generally recover fairly quickly. Some other common foot problems are likely to cause more long-lasting pain. Some of these may result from participation in sports, such as sprained ankles or stress fractures. What is the best way to handle these injuries so they won’t cause persistent problems?
Preventing Foot Pain:
Are your feet flat? Find out what exercises may help and which shoes you should choose to fix your foot pain from flat feet.
Heel pain is another common problem. Inflammation of the Achilles tendon is one possible cause. Perhaps more often, plantar fasciitis triggers heel pain. That is an inflammation of the tissue connecting the heel and the ball of the foot, and special stretches can often help.
If you have wondered about heel spurs or neuromas, tell us what you would like to know. Restoring feet to good health can cover a lot of different areas.
Toes and Toenails:
How about toes? Find out what to do about hammertoes, mallet toes or claw toes, as well as bunions. Are you worried about gout? It may affect the toes first, before causing pain in other parts of the body.
With warmer weather on the way, you may be interested in learning how to prevent athletes foot or eliminate toenail fungus. Do you have corns or calluses on your feet? What is the difference between them, and do the treatments differ?
The questions listeners ask drive the topics we discuss in this show. You can email questions ahead of time to: radio@peoplespharmacy.com.
