About Me

Several years ago, my father-in-law underwent surgery to repair damage to his intestines caused by Crohn’s disease. Unfortunately, during the surgery, my father-in-law sustained nerve damage to both of his feet. Recently, this nerve damage caused him to suffer a painful open wound on his left foot.

On this blog, I hope you will discover the most common ways podiatrists can treat foot injuries and help you manage foot pain.
