I’ve got mad respect for podiatrists. I once broke my foot in 2 places, and when I went to the hospital, team of ER doctors x-rayed it, told me it wasn’t broken, just badly bruised and sent me on my way. The next day a mom at my school who happened to be a podiatrist offered to look at it. Instantly knew it was broken just from the way it was bruised, took weight-bearing x-rays which actually showed the breaks, probably saved me from having to have surgery later to correct it. The amount of expertise on such a small area of the body is insane in the best way.

Bunions run in my family and my mom has had a couple surgeries. I was headed in that direction but started wearing five fingered shoes and that stopped the progression in their tracks. I also started wearing more T-strap type sandals (ideally w a back strap) in warm weather, and opting for roomier cute boots/booties vs fitted cute flats or heels in colder weather. When choosing athletic/outdoors shoes, I get ones with a wider toe box. All of this makes a huge difference; my baby bunions haven’t progressed further in over a decade and I’m so much more comfortable. When having to wear close-toed feminine flats or heels for notable periods of time my feet still hurt like hell, but that torture can be minimized!

I think this is sad, honestly. It doesn’t matter what they strived to be instead even if it’s a dr if they’re not living their dream. If you give up what you really want to be for something else, you’re not being true to yourself. Anyone can go out there and learn how to be anything else and jump through someone else’s hoops and expectations to get you there, but it takes a lot more guts and sticking to your guns regardless of what anyone else thinks, to actually do what you love to do more! If you’re convincing yourself that you’re not that good and can just do Plan B and always have that to fall back on, then you’re never going to fully commit to Plan A. People think it’s smart to always have a Plan B, but if you’re not in the right mindset to do whatever it takes to do Plan A-no matter what *because* you DO have a back up plan, you won’t ever be in the right mindset to actually accomplish what your actually desire that which you truly want to do. If you have a dream, you should burn all your Plans after A (Plan B, C, etc) and just go for it like your life depends on in! If not, you’re never going to be fully committed to living your dream! Doing the same amount of effort and determination that she put into med school, and diverted it to dancing, could have made her one hell of a great ballerina! She has the drive (med school is NOT easy, but neither is learning ballet!) she just directed it in the ‘wrong’ place instead! Not to say that being a dr is wrong, it just didn’t seem like it was HER dream! IF he was told she wasn’t a good ballerina, she could have moved on to somewhere else that motivated her more until she found someone who was going to life her up instead of being her down. Also, if it was family saying this, that’s not very encouraging, but who doesn’t want to boost up someone who says they want to be a dr over a dancer? The problem with society is that we tell our kids they can be anything they want to-when they’re little, then tell them to be practical when push comes to shove because being a dancer, while satisfies the soul, doesn’t always pay the bills. We have arbitrary guidelines as to what is acceptable as a job as if some are ‘fake’ if they’re not up to our standards and tell them to go out and get a real job already and start being more sensible. Who makes up these rules anyways? And why do we feel the need to follow them? My guess is that the ones doing so, are also the ones who are just as miserable at their Plan B jobs and think everyone needs to do the same because they also never had the courage to do what they loved when they made their choices so that’s what they encourage as well. It’s the “well, I had to do it too when I was your age!” And the “that’s not a real job!” (Just because we find it to be easy or less hard than what someone else chose to do) Mentality that shows that people don’t want you to be happy, they just want yet another contributing member of society like everyone else. Being a creative person who loves animals, I’ve also heard it all. “Being an artist isn’t a real job!” And “being a dog groomer isn’t a real job!” coming from those who work at less than ‘professional’ higher status (paying) jobs themselves as if the job I chose was a fake one and it’s what I chose because it’s what I WANTED to do instead of what I felt like I HAD to do! I’ve also felt the sting of putting off my dreams, doing the suckier jobs because it was considered a ‘real’ job and one that actually contributed more to society and it sucks, not so much because its not what I was willing to do, but because it’s not what I wanted to do being true to myself and that is what are me away every time I had to go to work. I could not imagine making it a full time, life long career doing so because that is what REALLY eats ways at us! And life’s far too short for that!

I sprained both my ankles at the exact same time back in 2016. I was in a parking lot and walked down one of those handicap ramps (I was a college kid and had a heavy ass backpack. Tied in with being naturally clumsy, I was thinking it would be safer to walk down it instead of taking the two inch step down). This was in the middle of summer, so no ice or anything, I just went down. I had a hard time getting up but managed eventually. I limped to my car, drove to work and everything. I did the RICE method but when it was still swollen 24 hours later, I figured it was time to see the doctor. I was convinced I had broken it because I could hardly put any pressure on it, but it was just an incredibly bad sprain. They were actually surprised I didn't break my ankle. Unfortunately though, I've had nothing but problems ever since. I was in constant pain for the next 6 months. PT helped, but I don't think it ever fully fixed it. Pretty sure it's the reason my knee and back pain have only gotten worse over the years, and I'm only 28.

This is absolutely true, the way you cut makes a difference but it’s also DEFINITELY genetic/how your nail grows/forms, like yes you should cut them in specific ways and definitely do not cut the sides off but, it can be genetic and just how your nails are, I had surgery on the right half of one because it had gotten very bad, I had to go to doctor after doctor to convince them to do it even though I had to be on antibiotics for how bad it was and there was no human way no matter how you cut it or tried to bend it back etc, like, it was not humanly possible to reverse it but doctors were so sure I was just cutting the nail wrong, I finally got a doctor to do the surgery, after that surgery my nail grew back on that side without any curve and I’ve never had even the slightest risk of it being ingrown no matter how I cut it, the way I cut the remaining ingrown parts now does prevent it from happening most of the time, but I’m literally always at risk for it, idk why doctors won’t recognize that, it’s not normal for any nail to be able to curve so much that it breaks skin, ever

Apparently he had several bones out of place in his foot. In the end he was discharged for medical reasons (his foot) and he is now disabled. They do the stupid thing and tell soldiers to work thru the pain etc. if they had checked it on day one he wouldn’t be disabled now.

I cut mine straight across, however over time the side edges of the toenails curl down into the skin, and the ONLY way to gain relief is to cut the corners back to the bed.

I had 2 weeks vacation coming up and it was fortunately summer so I ditched the work shoes and walked everywhere with a pair of water shoes, slip-ons with a stretchy upper and a thin rubber sole. My feet pretty much fixed themselves as my walking improved, my arches got better and the cyst went away. I think in some cases, less support is actually better for your feet than more.

So people in countries with “free” healthcare go to the doctor every time it might be remotely necessary, with zero hesitation at all? Nothing stops them? They don’t have anxiety about it? They’re never too busy to schedule an appointment? They go multiple times a year, without fail, like clockwork, any time something even slightly goes wrong? Because I’m an American with insurance who can afford to go, and I hate it there. I despise going to the doctor. It has nothing to do with money in my case. I just hate it there. I turned my ankle last year and it was excruciating. I’m sure it would have been wise to get it checked out. And because I have insurance, I would have been able to cover my part of the cost. But I didn’t go because I was terrified of going. Interesting how people think that money is the only thing that ever prevents anyone from doing anything, like not having money is the only thing standing in your way. Money makes things available to you, yes. Money doesn’t force you to make the right choice. You can make a lot of poor decisions even though you have enough money to live on. And before someone says something, I’m not rich 🙄 Middle class people can afford insurance. I’m sure I am rich compared to some, but I am not generally considered wealthy.

As a veterinarian let me tell you straight up that its much cheaper to go and get seen early rather than later. Even without insurance, if you pay in cash most offices will work with you and lessen the bill. There are other options about payment forgiveness if you go to a non-profit hospital. I cannot tell you how many animals I have seen needlessly suffer or die because someone decided to wait on a problem when it should have been seen immediately. Case in point: a parvo vaccine for puppies is about $30 and you need a series of 3. $90 seems a lot. But to treat parvo, its over $1500 and there is only a 50% chance of survival even if you are in a teaching hospital.

His neighbor referred him to our agency. I found out he never removed his shoes. In my assessment and blood tests, it was found that he had adult-onset diabetes. After I very carefully removed his shoes the bottom of both feet exhibited dry gangrene. This was back in the mid-1980s. I thought this problem was solved back in the Civil War. I soon found out what adult-onset diabetes can do to one's appendages. Foot care is especially important in diabetics. Thank you for this video!

In general this was a very informative video for many I bet. However as a sport scientist I have to strongly disagree with your points on bunions and soles. Modern shoes completely mess up the biomechanics of our feet. That does not just include heals but also shoes with a narrow toebox in general. The same goes for very soft soles, heal-raise, toe-spring, etc. Feet are, like the rest of our body, trainable. Using an insole instead of training your arc is like putting a cast on your wrist instead of training your muscles. The muscles just get even weaker and if you don’t have your cast Handy for some reason you are doomed without it. Ofc there are situations where insoles like that may be useful but generally the first step in treatment should always be training.

(basically can't run anymore) Sprained ankles are serious. Even my own ortho surgeon personally feels they are worse than breaks. Broken bones can heal, but once you sprain-you'll be prone to it again if you don't take good care after it first happens.

I've always thought the advice should not be "cut straight across" but "cut your nails as they grow." I round my toenails to PREVENT problems. The issue is that the growth line of my great toenails is quite curved. If I cut straight across as everyone insists is best, it leaves two tiny flaps at the corners that have a sharp square edge and are not attached to the nail bed. They catch on my hosiery and hurt if I wear heels (which push my toes into the front of the shoe). I've never had an ingrown toenail -- with either the straight cut or rounded cut, but the rounded looks and feels better.

You should be able to fix that at least a bit with an ankle strengthening program. Your ankles are probably broken down from not healing correctly. If you strengthen and lengthen the muscles around it you can release the tension causing the pain and be able to do more. I don’t have experience with ankles but I do with knees. Many people will have bad knees for years that will limit how much exercise they can do because they damaged the tendon a long time ago. You damaged the ligaments in your ankle which is basically treated the same. If you would like help I could probably point you in the right direction because your ankles should be mostly fixable.

I think it would be more accurate to say that the best way to cut your toenails depends on your nails and toes. For some people this means cutting them straight is best. For others that would actually cause problems like those nails stabbing the other toes, so they are better off cutting them rounded and perhaps shorter. It all depends on the way your nails grow, the shap they grow in, etc. Personally, I cut them rounded and short.

I spent decades cutting my toenails straight across, and never too early or too short. But the edges decide on their own when to and how much to curl under. Sometimes the curling is greater than 180°. That can dig into the flesh under the toenail, painfully. At the point, there is little to do but to cut away these sides. (This is based on 5 decades of experimenting on my own nails.)

I had bad problems all my childhood with that. As long as I was able to be barefoot it was ok, but going back to school always lead to more ingrown toenails. It was bad enough that sometimes we had to go to the doc to get the shard dug out and pulled which was always at least a couple weeks after my socks were bloody. Eventually it was too much and I had the sides burned off when I was 16. My big toes look a little different than most, but not abnormal or anything, and I haven't had an ingrown nail in 25 years. Looking back I feel like there's a strong likelihood it was due to my cutting technique, but I did try cutting straight for a long time with no real results. Maybe I was cutting too short?

Its not a myth its a fact Unless you consciously stop your base instincts you will move from the site of injury normally 10-20 meters sometimes even more Its half because if your bleeding it lets fellow humans find you as a line of blood with you curled up at one end of it is easier to spot than you curled up in a ball The other half is because your base instincts say get away and hide but if no danger is found then you wont go all that far away from site of injury But regardless best to get injuries checked because the vast majority of humans are dumb and dont know basic anatomy to check themselves Example someone i knew flew off a bike and smashed sideways into a tree and broke a few ribs but they didnt bother going to get checked for 4 days and all it would have taken is a gentle prodding around to find out if you had even 1 broken rib… the broken ribs where discovered when the doctor went to listen to there breathing and the ribs gave way

Those last two, my mom and I needed to learn a few weeks ago. I jumped into a pool at a party that I didn’t realize was shallow- but since when I got home I was (barely) walking on it she said I should just deal with it and it’ll heal on its own because if I could walk then it’s not badly injured. Two weeks later my toe was infected and my foot was still throbbing and I finally decided I needed to see a podiatrist, who then revealed I rolled my ankle, broke my second metatarsal bone, and detached my big toenail (it was only on my toe still because of the blood and pus underneath gluing it in place). When I came home in a cam walker (The Boot) my mom was quite shocked.

Overall great information! However, the dogma of using orthotics deserves a second look. Permanently stabilising the arch that has evolved for running for millions of years isn't necessarily a good idea. Using orthotics has been shown in randomised clinical trials using MRI imaging to significantly reduce foot arch musculature in a short period of time, increasing the risk for injury. I highly recommend listening to Peter Attia's Podcast Episode 128 with Dr. Irene Davis (Harvard Medical School) on the evolution of the foot and running injuries.

@nanszoo30922 жыл бұрын
However, if you do need orthotics because you have taken your feet for granted for years or have a physical deformity, and maybe have severe problems with stability, rolling gait, and back or hip weakness and pain, they can be very helpful and get you back on your feet (pun intended) so that you are able to accomplish more in your days. I personally was able to get a pair of custom orthotics and wore them off and on for a few years with my sneakers until they broke down too much. By then, however, I'd been able to heal a lot of what had been bothering me in the first place, find better shoes and sandals and strengthen neglected muscles that had been too weak previously. At that time I was also able to afford season passes to local theme parks and would take a day or half-day with my children and grandchildren just having fun as a family. I wore my orthotics for about half the time we were there and then I'd take them out later in the day as my feet started to feel sore. This allowed different muscles to bear the brunt of my weight so that I could walk and stand for longer periods of time. Just that alone allowed me to spend more time enjoying life with my family (with less medication) than I would have been otherwise able to do and it allowed me to carry out my other responsibilities of daily life as well. I've also been through a lot of physical therapy with different parts of my anatomy and think that PT is definitely the best method of retraining worn, torn, or misused muscles, but sometimes we also need to stabilize and rest the damage as well and we can't all always get PT as easily as we would like to do. In my case, the orthotic helped retrain my foot, so for me, it was a good investment.

@@nanszoo3092 yeah i think that goes without saying. if your foot is messed up, then for sure use whatever is needed to regain normal function and work towards removing reliance. He means as a preventative, I used to play soccer when I was younger and had a little bit of foot pain etc. I eventually became a shoe sales person because of my fascination with shoes and maintaining healthy feet. Using orthotics etc when you dont need it is like putting on a cast on your arm to prevent injury and keep your arm in a good position. It makes sense to protect your arm but you do more harm than good. I am not a doctor but I slighty disagree with their bunion thing and to a degree the orthotics/shoe with support thing. My clients at the shoe place would have many different issues and over the course of 3 years I learned a ton about what kinds of shoes helped then and would offer my recommendations. I was able to see improvement on the customers and they would tell me things like "my podiatrist said I need these types of shoes." I would reply "yeah I can get you those shoes for you but I would recommend something else." many customers asked for my advice (I suppose they assumed we had a lot of training or something lol) I ended up making like 30 bucks an hour and would often have customers who waited to specifically have me help them out because the shoes they got were amazing. I would encourage them to return shoes if they went home tried them once and found they weren't as comfortable as they originally thought. usually I would encourage them to take what the doctor recommended and what I recommended and say "What I would do is get both shoes and see which works better and bring back whichever you dont like or both if they arent comfortable." We worked on commission and some customers would say "i dont want you to lose out after helping me for like an hour/2 hours" but i always told them that what i want is to find them the right shoes because feet health is super important and if we dont have anything that works then at least we tried but then they would at least have a better idea of what doesnt work and could try other shoes at a different place. I was sad sometimes when people would buy shoes for their kids or for themselves that were too tight. I liked when the parents said "find my kid a shoe that is a good size for them" it is hard to be well educated about shoes and know about their quality unless you work in the industry for multiple years and have seen thousands of customers. with that being said I did have some ladies that wanted heels and "don't mind the pain to look beautiful" and some people that just liked super tight shoes. especially in sales it is super important to give the customer what they want but sometimes i found that they werent sure what exactly they wanted. so then i would do the thing about giving them something they wanted and something i thought they needed. I had a few who brought their doctors notes as well. I loved the job and under different circumstances I would have loved to keep doing it. During my time there I saw as many videos about feet and shoes and read a bunch on the topic as well. still i believe I dont know it all. I did have a few customers that had similar cases too you. feet are more important than i ever knew. im glad that you were able to find a method that helped improve your situation. there are so many ways to approach it because everyones feet are different and all shoes (even within the same brand and style) are not made the same. random point also is that there is no universal best shoe because we all do different things in our lives and our feet are at different stages. so it also depends on our activity and many many factors. also even though i think i gave decent shoe advice at work, dont be so quick to trust someones advice. lots of ppl want you to get expensive shoes and are more so money focused. they will also make up some features about certain shoes... maybe because they are also misinformed but maybe because of their bias. I obviously have a bias so i would phrase it as "my recommendation" and would be as frank as i could. Personally I use nike trainers bc they were relatively cheap (they are good everyday shoes. provide protection from rocks etc but dont hold your foot in a rigid position that creates other issues). I have a more expensive pair of 5 finger shoes (these are not necessary to buy but do help), a pair of boots (acts as natural weights and helps strengthen your foot as long as you dont wear them 24/7 and make sure they get ventilation after every wear) and i wear sliders but never sandals (toe spacer HURTS! and is uncomfortable) around the house. wearing socks is super fun too. My favorite shoes of all time were a pair of rebook that cost 14.99 on clearance... i forget all info about them bc i used them in middle school but they were amazing and goes to show that good shoes don't have to be expensive...anyways, wishing whoever reads this the best. sorry for the essay. I grew to enjoy this topic lol.

@@nanszoo3092 I'm an orthotics technician at my towns Orthotic and Prosthetic clinic. In 8 years I can say the primary reason people have foot pain is in fact that they are wearing the wrong size shoe. Most people don't know they have bigger feet that the shoes they've been wearing their whole lives. You've said you are pushing 60, if you wore a size 11 when you were 30, you are a 12 now. The ligaments stretch over time, you'll go up about half a size every 15ish years starting around 25 years old. For me, a size 12 seemed perfect until I started this profession, then the practitioners measured my feet because I was in agony and found out I'm a 13 4e (4e is the width of the shoe from M-normal, W-wide, E, 3E etc all the way to 10E). The Brannock device (foot measuring thing) is pretty easy to use, can look them up to find what all the numbers mean if you end up somewhere that people don't know how to use them like you said. If you are a Veteran, the VA pays 100% the cost of foot orthotics, and often shoes as well. It's common for me to make 3 pairs of orthotics and order 2 pairs of shoes for my veteran patients all paid by the VA. Medicare will also cover them if you have that, though most offices will only supply orthotics for medicare and not shoes as they don't like to reimburse us for shoes. Little things most people don't know :).

I tried many different things including soaks in epsom salt, but nothing worked until I stopped cutting those toenails so short and let them grow a bit. This will 100% solve the issue. Now I tend to let my toenails grow a bit before cutting, but once you solve the problem you can cut them back fairly close without issue. Hope this helps others!

Turns out I had plantar fasciitis but why was the next question. Trial and error led me to the Dr. Scholl’s site and the arch test. I thought I had a low arch. Nope they were high. Seems my back fusion caused some nerve issues that impacted my arches. Bought some high arch insoles and they work like a charm.

Stilettos ABSOLUTELY contribute to the worsening of bunions. Particularly when a patient is overweight. I can’t believe a surgeon and a podiatrist would say that you can “train your foot” to get used to them. Especially with flat footed patients.

A friend of mine recently was talking about how she slammed her little toe into a table leg and “broke it a little” (the of the bone cracked off, supposedly) and it was so frustrating trying to explain that “broken a little” isn’t a thing. It’s broken, or it’s not broken.

A bone can be broken through and detached, broken with a crack while remaining attached, and/or chipped at an edge.

Sprained both ankles twice in high school. They were never the same after that. At the gym, I make sure to do leg exercises to strengthen all my leg muscles but I figure I could potentially have issues with them in the future as I get older.

Ever since I stopped cutting my toenails straight across, but I cut the sides off, and keep filing it slightly tapered as it grows out…. I finally stopped having ingrown toenails. No more agony, no more bleeding or puss. Straight across!? Never again!

Not even surprised. I susped the filing has something to do with it: the sharper or pointier the edge is, the easier it'll dig into flesh.

My problem with insoles is that when I use them they make me feel slightly better, but after getting used to them I can't walk a mile without them. So I end up preferring to feel a little discomfort from not wearing them whenever I find myself walking or standing too long, rather than not being able to walk or feel excruciating pain if I forgot them on my other shoe.
@Apalakki3 жыл бұрын
It's like wearing a back brace all day every day. You slowly lose most function and stability from your core and living without it gets uncomfortable. Inserts should and need to be a temporary fix to help get back to actually strengthening your feet and fixing the root problems (week stability/arch muscles, misalignments, hip mobility issues etc.).

“We have to support our arches.” Said by someone who doesn’t understand the structural function of an arch. The arch is the support. Propping up the middle of an arch makes it weaker.

I disagree with the bunion comments. I think there is a genetic component, but ultimately they are formed based off the pressures placed on the foot/toe. When someone walks with their feet pointing outward and over pronates with minimal flexor hallucis longus and posterior tibialis engagement the great toe is forced toward the other toes. Thousands of steps later, Wolff’s law explains how more bone will develop at the head of the metatarsal causing a bunion. It is not easy, but the combination of gait training, ankle mobility and foot/ankle strengthening can drastically reduce bunions and prevent the progression. (As a doctor of physical therapy, I admit I am bias toward a natural way of fixing bunions, just as many surgeons have a bias toward a surgical approach to fixing things)
