Another common foot problem we see in my office is the
bunion or "bump on the big toe joint". This problem is most
likely hereditary and usually progresses with age and gets more
painful and more difficult to treat. The bunion can progress
from gradual to more sudden. The "bump" gets larger
and the joint becomes more arthritic and misaligned as time
goes on. Patients have difficulty fitting into their normal
shoes. The shoes bulge and are stretched by the pathologic joint
and the patient's foot experiences pain and pressure. This
pressure from the shoe may accelerate the problem. If treated
early, and the bunion joint is still in good condition a minor
surgery may be used to file down the outside of the
bone and eliminate this "bump" in the bone. procedure may also help avoid more involved surgery
later on. This minor procedure is also done right in the office. After the procedure the bump is gone
and most patients do very well and walk much more comfortably. This procedure may be scheduled
on a Friday, rest over the weekend, and on Monday or Tuesday most patients can return to work in
a post operative shoe. This is one of the most common problems we see in the office.
A painful incurvated ingrown toenail can be both a
sharply and naggingly painful problem. The toenail plate
begins to grow in an incurvated shape because of many
factors including external pressure from a shoe. Tight shoes
or pointy shoes (such as high heels) will often cause or
aggrevate this problem. This incurvated shape causes extra
pressure on the surrounding tissue and eventually
the tissue breaks down and bacteria invade the irritated tissue and cause an infection with an abcess.
An infected ingrown toenail can develop into a serious health problem if left untreated. Prompt
attention by a physician is very important. Usually treatment involves removal of a small piece of
toenail, cleansing of the infected area and antibiotics.
A common problem that we see in my office is the painful    
"pinky" toe. This problem is caused by a bump in the toe bone
which causes a painful corn/callous to grow on the toe. This pain
is made worse by tight fitting shoes. Temporary treatment
involves shaving the corn/callous down and applying dispersion
pad. A better more permanent treatment we perform for this
painful toe problem is the removal of a small piece of bone from
the toe. This minor procedure involves only a few stitches and is
done right in the office.
Recovery time is usually quick, about a week in a protective shoe. This usually greatly reduces pain
and often eliminates this problem and the corn/callous completely. After the toe has healed most
patients walk more comfortably in normal shoe gear. This same problem can occur on other toes as
well.
Warts commonly occur on the foot. A wart is caused by your
foot coming into contact with a virus. Once inside your tissue
the goal of the virus is to grow and spread as soon as possible.
This is how a virus lives in your tissue and it's only purpose in
life-survival. The virus gets into the tissue and grows and then
spreads into other nearby tissue. Once it spreads now you have
two areas that must be treated. Incidentally, if you touch it with
your fingers it can get on your hand and then it can go
anywhere your hand goes onto other areas of your body. This problem is contagious. This
problem requires prompt attention. We treat this problem in our office by removal with a C02
laser. Warts are very difficult to eliminate and may require more than one treatment
