Let us know you visited and ask questions about your foot or feet.

    I suffered from PF last year from overuse pushing my bike up a hill. 9 months I am fully recovered and now wearing stability running shoes. My wet foot test says I have a neutral arch and some say a high arch but it does pronate some when weight bearing. Would you reccomend that I get back into neutral shoes again? And what work boots would you say would be well suited for me as I do security work and must wear boots.

    I have bunions on both feet and they don't look very good. Should I get surgery if they don't hurt?

    Hi Tanya, We can't tell you what to do here. We don't give patient specific advice in this way. You need to make an appointment with a licensed Podiatrist like Dr. Fawcett and get the opinion of someone who is seeing you as a patient.

    I have toe fungus, bunions developing, corns on the side of my smallest toes(both), and a huge, deep callous on the bottom of my foot. Will these automatically require surgery or are there other ways to correct them? The toe fungus I know doesn't require surgery but I have one toe that the fungus has gotten to wear it makes the toenail curl up and it's very painful. I have already scheduled an appt to be seen in your office. Thanks so much!

    HI Stacey, Thanks for your question. I am really sorry you are having all these issues. It sounds like you have done the correct thing and made an appointment with Dr. Fawcett to have your foot problems evaluated. The skin problems - callouses and corns are respones to pressure and irritation over a long period of time. The nail may have a fungus, yeast or an injury to the nail matrix that actually grows the nail. Do follow through and keep you appointment with Dr Fawcett and have a complete evaluation
