Yes  No
               
My toenails are streaked, discolored and thickened.
               (
May mean your nails have a fungus.  We can treat                           
                  this with  oral medications such as
Lamisil, topical                       
                 medications such as
Penlac and  surgically.                                

               The sides of my toenails dig into the skin and hurt.
              (
May mean you have an ingrown toenail.  This can be treated            
                in the office.  Doctor Rainer does a procedure that can
                permanently correct this problem.)

               I have a large bone/bump behind my big toe.
              (
Probably a bunion which is inflamed/enlarging. This can be
              treated with Orthotics or splinting.  Doctor Rainer does outpatient    
               surgical correction of bunions as well.)

               I get a painful cramp in the ball of my foot in shoes and after rest.
               (
A neuroma, a nerve problems, is a common culprit. Neuromas
               can be treated with decompression, injections, orthotics, or they
               can be surgically removed.) We are also using an injection               
                  technique using a special alcohol mixture to avoid traditional        
                 surgery!

                
My toes aren't straight-they curl, are bent and hurt.
               (Hammertoes can be painful, especially in shoes.  These are             
                 treated with padding, management of associated corns and
                callouses, or they can be surgically corrected.)

               
My heels hurt all day, but it is worse in the morning or after rest.
              (
Probably due to a condition called Plantar Fasciitis or Heel Spur    
                Syndrome. This is treated with OTC orthotics, Custom Molded         
                Orthotics,   injections, NSAIDs, Night Splints, Physical Therapy       
                
OssaTron,  endoscopic surgery or NEW! TOPAZ LINK! )

               My feet are always dry and scaly-they also itch.
               (
Often due to athlete's foot- tinea pedis, a fungal infection.  This is   
              treated with prescription creams or oral medications)

               
I have numbness, burning, infection, persistent pain,
               a skin rash, an open sore or wound. (
Any of these conditions should   
                            receive immediate professional attention!)
