My son has food swelling and pain in both his feet.
He has been to the same medical doctor several times.
The doctor tells him he has athletes foot and prescribes a creme/lotion.
However the swelling and pain continues to come back on a weekly basis.
He works in work boots on his feet all day.
Is this the symtoms of gout or is the doctor correct.
Is there another cure for this or does he have to live with this?
Hello I have recently had Acl and meniscal reconstruction.
I am looking for a lightweight and flexable knee brace to use while training in Wrestling and Jiu jitsu. I would prefer to find one that has padding over the knee/patellar area due to the discomfort to the area caused by the surgery.Any recomendations would be apprieciated.
I am a physical therapy assistant student In the Military out of Westpoint, and have been given an assignment to do a 45 minute inservice on drop foot.
I was wondering if you could help me out with any knowledge, subtopics, experiences, pictures, anything is sufice.
I’m hoping to make this inservice lively and inspirational, and not just another inservice that the colonels have to go to and can’t wait to get over with.
If you could help me out whatsoever, I would Extremely appreciate it… Thank youPFC KINNE USAR

Read More Hello.For the past week toes on my right foot (2nd and 3rd) have been swollen and itchy.
When I wake in the morning it is the worst. they are red, tight, swollen, and very itchy. during the day once I get moving they feel a little better but are still swollen but are a normal color, which the exception of a sore itchy (not broken or ulcerated) patch on the side of the 2nd toe (next to the big toe), which seems swollen. they do not hurt to bend but are sore and very itchy. they get sore/itchy feeling when I squeeze on the joint. They feel better cold.
I did see a podiatrist who diagnosed it as a vascular problem and reaction to the cold weather – which seems plausible b/c I have bad circulation in my feet and sitting all day in a chilly office exacerbates it. However, i’ve read about psoratic arthritis and RA and I’m a little concerned.
Should I get a second opinion to rule this things out?
I can’t believe that all these people describe the samething that I feel. I have tried physical thyerapy and I have had cortizone shots nothing works. What causes this burning it doesn’t hurt its just an annoying buring pain that really does not ever go away. Please help me
Read MoreThe past two Saturdays I have gone swimming for about 30 mins. each time. The first time on Sunday I got up with a sore lower back which woresened as the day progressed. By Monday morning I could hardley walk. I had problems all week. By Friday thing had improved greatly so Saturday I went swinming again. I have had no pain while swimming, but aft getting oout of the water and wihile dressing on the second Saturday I noticed the pain returning. On the secon Sunday I could not get out of bed. I had to roll out of the bed and crawl till I could get up. It took several mins. Here it is Wednesday and I am still have pain even though it is better. I am assuming that I am hyperextending the lower back? Any suggestion as to treatment and what I can do to strengthen so that it won’t occure.
