When to See a Doctor: Recognizing the Early Signs of Knee Arthritis

Knee arthritis often starts with small changes that are easy to overlook. Stiffness in the morning, aching after a short walk or discomfort when getting up from a chair can be early signs that the joint is under strain. Some people also notice mild swelling or a feeling of heaviness around the knee.

These symptoms may come and go at first, but if they become more frequent or start affecting daily movements, it may be helpful to have the knee assessed. Early attention can give you a clearer understanding of what is happening and how to manage it.

If you are experiencing ongoing knee discomfort, you can reach out to Foot and Ankle Doctor to speak with Dr Tan Ken Jin for further guidance.

When Is Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery Considered?

Minimally invasive bunion surgery may be an option when bunion pain begins to affect daily movement or when footwear changes and other measures no longer provide relief. It is generally considered for individuals who have persistent discomfort at the big toe joint or difficulty with activities such as walking, standing for long periods, or climbing stairs.

Dr Tan Ken Jin also performs minimally invasive bunion surgery techniques. These techniques use smaller incisions to reduce soft-tissue disruption. They may support a smoother healing process for some individuals compared to traditional approaches, although recovery can vary from person to person.

If you are unsure whether your symptoms require further assessment, you can reach out to Foot and Ankle Doctor to speak with Dr Tan Ken Jin for guidance.

Knee Locking or Clicking? It Might Be a Meniscus Tear

Knee symptoms such as locking, clicking, or sudden pain can occur when the meniscus is strained or torn. These changes are common after a twist, a fall or even repeated pressure over time.

Some people notice that their knees feel unstable when climbing stairs or getting up from a seated position. Others feel discomfort only during exercise. Paying attention to these signs can help you understand what the knee is trying to tell you.

If the symptoms continue or start affecting your daily routine, speaking with a specialist can help you understand what is happening in the joint. You may contact Foot and Ankle Doctor to reach Dr Tan Ken Jin for further guidance.

Happy Feet, Happy Life: Moving Freely After Bunion Surgery

Many people look forward to simple moments like walking comfortably again after bunion surgery. Recovery takes time, but understanding what goes into the procedure can help you feel more prepared.

During bunion surgery, Dr Tan Ken Jin uses a guidance jig system. This approach allows for more precise and accurate alignment during the procedure, ensuring optimal patient outcomes.

Suppose you are considering bunion surgery or have ongoing discomfort that affects your daily activities. In that case, you can speak with the Foot and Ankle Doctor for further advice from Dr Tan Ken Jin.

Common Causes of Persistent Ankle Pain After Injury

Ankle pain that lingers after a sprain or fall can happen for a few reasons. Sometimes the ligaments take longer to heal. In other cases, there may be underlying issues such as tendon strain, joint irritation, or minor injuries that were not obvious at the start.

If the discomfort keeps returning when you walk, climb stairs or try to get back to exercise, it may be a sign that the ankle has not fully recovered. Paying attention to these signs can help prevent the problem from becoming long-term.

For further advice, you can contact Foot and Ankle Doctor to speak with Dr Tan Ken Jin about your symptoms.

Don’t Let an Achilles Tear Slow You Down – Get the Right Care!

Achilles tendon injuries often occur when the tendon is placed under more strain than it can withstand. A sudden change in activity, tight calf muscles or pushing through pain during exercise can increase the risk.

If you notice swelling, redness or difficulty walking after a twist or sudden movement, it may be a sign that the tendon needs rest and proper assessment. Many people continue their routine, hoping it will go away, but early attention can make a real difference in how well the injury settles.

For guidance on your symptoms, you can reach out to Foot and Ankle Doctor to speak with Dr Tan Ken Jin.

Insights from Dr Tan Ken Jin: What Causes Bunion Pain?

Bunion pain often develops slowly, and many people only notice it when daily movement starts to feel uncomfortable. According to Dr Tan Ken Jin, changes in foot structure, prolonged pressure on the big toe joint, and certain footwear choices are common factors that lead to discomfort.

The pain may come and go, but if it becomes frequent or starts affecting simple activities like walking or standing for long periods, it may be helpful to understand what is contributing to it.

If you need guidance or have ongoing symptoms, you can contact Foot and Ankle Doctor to speak with Dr Tan Ken Jin for further advice.

Daily Habits That May Worsen Bunion Discomfort

Small routines in our day can slowly add stress to the feet without us realising it. Tight or narrow shoes, long hours on your feet, and even certain exercise habits may contribute to bunion discomfort over time.

If you often feel soreness at the side of your big toe after a full day out, it may be worth understanding what’s triggering it so you can make simple adjustments to feel more comfortable.

If the discomfort keeps coming back or starts affecting your daily activities, speaking with a foot specialist can help you understand your options.

For further advice, you can reach out to Foot and Ankle Doctor to speak with Dr Tan Ken Jin.

When to Seek Help for a Suspected Foot or Ankle Fracture

A sudden twist, fall, or misstep can sometimes cause more than a sprain. If you notice swelling, bruising, or cannot put weight on your foot or ankle, it could be a fracture. Even small cracks in the bone can worsen without proper care.

Getting assessed early helps confirm the diagnosis and ensures timely treatment, leading to better recovery and mobility.

At Foot & Ankle Doctor, Dr Tan Ken Jin provides care for foot and ankle injuries, including fractures.

Preparing for Bunion Surgery: Questions to Ask During Consultation

Before deciding on bunion surgery, it’s important to have a clear understanding of the procedure and recovery process. During your consultation, you can ask questions such as:

• What type of bunion surgery is suitable for my condition?
• How long will recovery take?
• When can I return to regular footwear or physical activity?
• What post-surgery care will be needed?

Having these discussions helps you make informed decisions and prepare for a smoother recovery journey.

At Foot & Ankle Doctor, Dr Tan Ken Jin takes time to guide patients through their options and address their concerns before surgery.

What Is Plantar Fasciitis and Why Does It Hurt More in the Morning?

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It happens when the band of tissue under your foot becomes strained or inflamed. People often describe the pain as sharp when they first step out of bed, which then eases as they move around.

This morning stiffness occurs because the tissue tightens while you rest. Simple stretches, supportive footwear, and early care can help relieve discomfort and prevent it from worsening.

At Foot & Ankle Doctor, Dr Tan Ken Jin provides assessment and care for heel and foot pain related to plantar fasciitis.
