What are other causes of chronic heel pain? Can they be treated?

The treatment plan for your heel pain will depend on the underlying cause. Stress fractures, heel bumps or bursitis, tarsal tunnel syndrome, and Severs disease are all other potential causes of chronic heel pain. Baxter's nerve entrapment, calcaneal cysts, bone bruises, circulation issues, bone cysts, gout, neuroma, and bone marrow infection can also cause heel pain, though they are much less common. If you are consistently experiencing heel pain, it is best to see a certified podiatrist who understands how to appropriately diagnose you. While it can seem tempting to wait out the pain or attempt to address it at home, seeing an experienced doctor who specializes in this particular part of the body can help to ensure you quickly and effectively achieve relief.

How can a diabetic wound heal faster?

Because diabetic wound care is so important, you really should get professional care if you think you may need it and especially if the wound or your symptoms worsen at all. Any signs of infection (like drainage) should be addressed professionally too. If a wound is serious and life-threatening, you need to call 911 for care.

With a diabetic wound, close monitoring is crucial. Consider treatment here at Advanced Foot and Ankle Specialists. We can help you monitor your wound and treat it too. Sometimes special footgear or crutches can help to take pressure off of a foot wound so it can heal better and faster. We can also help you with proper dressing for the wound and prescribe you a quality topical medication to keep the wound clean and promote healing. On top of all that, we can make sure your body is circulating blood as efficiently as it can, which will also help you heal quickly. Of course, we can also help you control your blood glucose.

What Causes Calluses and Corns?

A callus, or tyloma, on the foot is caused by repeated pressure and friction, leading to the buildup of thickened skin. The callus, which be may hard, dry or cracked, acts to protect the area underneath it. A corn is similar to a callus but is smaller and appears more commonly on toes as well as on the sole of the foot.

What can I do to prevent ingrown toenails at home?

The most important things you can do to stop ingrown toenails from happening are to trim the nails appropriately and wear well-fitting shoes. You should cut your nail approximately the same length as your toe. If it is cut too short, it could increase your chances of developing ingrown nails. Wearing sensible footwear will relieve pressure on the toe and not press the nail down under the tissue surrounding it.

Do Stress Fractures Heal On Their Own?

A stress fracture is a tiny crack in a bone that's caused by overuse, like running for a long period, but it can also develop from normal use if a bone has been weakened by a condition like osteoporosis. A stress fracture may heal on its own if the person reduces their level of activity, but the fracture may not heal properly on its own, which can cause chronic problems like chronic pain or put the person at risk of developing other stress fractures. Also, a stress fracture can worsen, becoming a bigger problem and possibly one requiring surgery. Professional treatment is definitely a good idea if you have or believe you may have a stress fracture.

How can custom orthotics help me?

Generally, custom orthotics are used to correct feet that aren't ideally positioned, or to help relieve the pain and other symptoms associated with a particular foot- or ankle-related issue. For example, for a structural issue with your feet, orthotics can help to rebalance and optimize the distribution of weight on your feet. And for diabetes, in this instance orthotics can work to reduce pressure placed on the areas affected by corns and calluses. Custom orthotics can serve different purposes or even multiple purposes for patients. They can also be a part of a comprehensive treatment plan for patients with foot and/or ankle problems.

How to Treat Ingrown Toenails

If you have diabetes, nerve problem in the leg or foot, poor blood circulation to your foot, or an infection around the nail, see a provider right away. Don't try to treat an ingrown nail at home.

Otherwise, to prevent an ingrown nail at home:

- Soak the foot in warm water 3 to 4 times a day if possible. After soaking, apply antibiotic ointment to the inflamed skin.

When trimming your toenails:

- Briefly soak your foot in warm water to soften the nails.
- Use a clean, sharp trimmer.
- Trim toenails straight across the top. Do not taper or round the corners or trim too short.
- Do not try to cut out the ingrown portion of the nail yourself. This will only make the problem worse.

Stress Fracture

A fracture is a break, usually in a bone. If the broken bone punctures the skin, it is called an open or compound fracture. Fractures commonly happen because of car accidents, falls, or sports injuries. Other causes are low bone density and osteoporosis, which cause weakening of the bones. Overuse can cause stress fractures, which are very small cracks in the bone.

Symptoms of a fracture are

- Intense pain
- Deformity - the limb looks out of place
- Swelling, bruising, or tenderness around the injury
- Numbness and tingling
- Problems moving a limb

You need to get medical care right away for any fracture. An x-ray can tell if your bone is broken. You may need to wear a cast or splint. Sometimes you need surgery to put in plates, pins or screws to keep the bone in place.
