What kind of doctor should I see for a very bad bunion and arthritis in the joints of my feet. I have been getting cortisone shots in one of the joints for a few years. I had the nerve between the two toes cut 14 years ago but it only helped for @10 years. I am flat footed, wide feet and now I cant find shoes that don t hurt due to the bunion and the joint pain which is now in both feet. I am a Special Ed School Teacher that is always on my feet. What can be done and what kind of doctor do I see? A Orthopedist or a Podiatrist??
Hi, as you mentioned the history of you, I think that now the thing has become chronic. So to break the pattern of the pain, what can I Advise is to first start doing hot water fermentation and then do some feel muscle Strengthening exercises. Example, picking the bits of paper with toes and then mustard seeds. It will help the muscles move. Also, using faradism underwater will help stimulate the muscles of the feet. Post that doing exercise for the muscles of the leg will be of help. I have tried with my patients. It has almost worked for 95% of my patients. You can even meet the physical therapist for the help with the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery
