Ankle injuries and pain are common issues that are often overlooked until they become severe. Recognizing the signs that indicate the need for professional medical attention can prevent long-term damage and expedite recovery. Persistent Pain If you are experiencing persistent pain in your ankle that doesn't subside with rest or over-the-counter pain medication, it may be time to consult an ankle doctor. Persistent pain can be a sign of underlying issues such as tendonitis, arthritis, or a stress fracture.
A few weeks ago, my wife made me go to the nail salon with her. Instead of sitting around for hours while my wife perused nail decals and polish options, I decided to get a pedicure. It was a really relaxing experience, but I quickly discovered that the process was about more than a foot bath. Before I knew it, someone was cutting and sanding my toenails. Unfortunately, a few days later I developed a massive ingrown toenail infection, which my podiatrist attributed to my visit to the nail salon. I want everyone to know how to properly care for their feet, so I made this website.
