Wait When It Comes to Your Feet 👣
Sometimes I see patients with serious wounds that could have been avoided or managed much earlier — and it’s heartbreaking.
This particular case had been ongoing for almost 12 months, with multiple attempts to find help from different specialists. Eventually, the wound burst open, putting the person at a serious risk of infection and other complications. It’s absolutely crucial to get the wound healed to prevent further damage — but just as important is having a plan in place afterwards to make sure it never comes back.
Delays in care or assuming things will “heal on their own” can quickly lead to infection, complications, or even permanent damage.
If something doesn’t look right — if it’s red, swollen, painful, or not healing — seek help early.
If you’re not getting clear answers or progress, get a second opinion.
Hope alone isn’t a treatment plan. Wounds need to be actively managed, monitored, and the underlying cause identified to prevent it from happening again.
You only get one pair of feet — treat them like the foundation they are 👣
