My father's doctor wants to schedule him for surgery on his foot for arthritis, but the doctor said he wants my dad to go for physical therapy on his arms first. He's not very strong and the doctor says he needs to be for the surgery. Why? 4 years 23 weeks ago 401
When I was younger, I broke the bones in my foot around the middle part, where they all join. My doctor put a cast on it and a few weeks later, I was back on my way. My foot has always hurt since then but x-rays show that my foot is fine. Could it be arthritis since it's getting worse? 4 years 23 weeks ago 381
I injured the middle part of my foot playing football the other day. The doctor says he'll be putting in pins to fix it but then in a few months, I'll have to have surgery to take the pins out. When my cousin broke his leg, the pins and plates in his leg stayed. Why do mine have to come out? 4 years 23 weeks ago 375
I have heel pain from plantar fasciitis. They tell me it will go away on its own, but what if it doesn't? Then what? 4 years 25 weeks ago 2,205
I'm thinking about trying shock wave therapy for my very painful plantar fasciitis. My doctor is in complete agreement with ths plan. I've had the plantar fasciitis for two years now. Nothing has touched it -- not drugs, injections, night splints, or stretching exercises. Are there any bad side effects from this new treatment? 4 years 25 weeks ago 505
