I am 13-years-old and need some advice. My best friend just got cut from the dance team because she has an extra bone in her foot that is causing terrible pain. She says the doctor told her this is a common problem but usually the person doesn't know it unless dancing or doing some other athletic activity. How can I tell if I have it too? 1 day 11 hours ago 1
I am a fairly new dance instructor so I don't have a lot of experience with dance injuries (other than my own). One of my young students has been told she has a bridge of bone attaching the navicular bone in her foot to another bone. This is causing quite a bit of pain in her foot when dancing. Should I advise her to stop dancing? Is there anything I can do in class to help her? 1 day 11 hours ago 1
Dad continues to complain everyday about how his feet hurt. And when I took a look at his shoes -- no wonder! He's still shoving his very wide feet into a size 8 and he hasn't been a size 8 since Nixon was in office. How do we convince him to "upgrade" so-to-speak? 16 weeks 10 hours ago 54
I work in an assisted living facility as a lunch server. I notice how many of the seniors (even the younger ones) seem to shuffle in and out of the cafeteria. Why is that? Does everyone lose the ability to pick up their feet as they get older? I don't want this to happen to me! 16 weeks 11 hours ago 46
I need some answers quickly. I tore my Achilles tendon playing tennis yesterday. Went to the emergency department. They put me in an air-cast until I can see an orthopedic surgeon. That's tomorrow. I absolutely can't function with a cast that won't allow weight-bearing. Will I be able to talk the surgeon into a walking cast? 18 weeks 6 days ago 128
