It's common for kids to feel foot pain as the school year starts, especially if they wear flip flops all summer.

Children’s feet can grow up to two sizes in six months, so shoes that fit in May might be too tight by August. Tight shoes can lead to ingrown toenails or blisters.

For help managing foot pain, find a foot and ankle surgeon at https://ow.ly/vwbZ50WtC8O.

The big toe plays a crucial role in standing, walking and many other daily activities. With all that the big toe endures, it comes as no surprise that overuse can erode the joint cartilage and cause serious pain and even physical deformities, like arthritis. Foot and ankle surgeons urge people to pay attention to the early warning signs of big toe arthritis. If treated early, surgeons can alleviate the symptoms and possibly slow down the progression of the disease with less invasive procedures. However for mid- to late-stage arthritis, surgeons look to next-step treatments, including joint implants, surgical removal and joint fusion. If you are experience pain and stiffness in your big toe, see a foot and ankle surgeon right away.
