my wife has a sore right foot on the outside edge. its red in color and minor swelling. very sore for her to walk. any idea what this?
foot pain could be as a result of many different things. a thorough history and physical exam and possibly some laboratory and radiology exams are needed to determine the exact cause. causes of pain may include: trauma (fracture, sprain, arthritis), infection, metabolic conditions (gout), musculoskeletal or biomechanical abnormality and neurologic conditions (neuropathy). see more...
Good afternoon, thank you for asking at HealthReplies.com. Cantengan, or also known in English as ingrown nail, is a condition of inflammation, swelling, redness and pain that is usually at the corners of the fingertips, due to the growth of nails that protrude into and hurt the skin. This condition is most common in toenails, especially in those who have curved or thick toenails.



  

Among the triggers for this condition are:







Cut the nails too short or penetrate to the edge of the nail  

The shape of the nail is like a fan or curved and wide  

Sweaty feet  

Genetic and hereditary factors  

Poor foot hygiene  

Use tight and narrow footwear  

Foot injury







  

Regarding your question, this condition is treated not with medication, but with a small surgical pathway because the embedded nail must be removed, whether it is removed only partially or completely, it will depend on the condition of each person. Even if given medication, it is only a pain reliever and antibiotics to avoid infection, and if the nails have not been operated on, obviously the problem still exists.



  

Therefore what we want to convey is that it is natural that the treatment is not effective if only given drugs. Our advice, this time check your condition at the surgeon for surgery. And if you use health insurance, you can check with the health center first to get a referral to a surgeon. If you have had surgery, and this is an infection that occurs after surgery, you still need to see a doctor because handling antibiotics requires doctor supervision and the drug should not be purchased freely. Meanwhile, continue to consume drugs regularly, limit physical activity using the feet. So, hopefully answering your question. hi werner<br>please excuse me if my translation isn&#39;t great. <br>it appears from what you have mentioned that it&#39;s likely you have patellofemoral syndrome. what that means is that your patella (or kneecap) is misaligned with the underlying femoral/thigh bone. where the patella should be moving over the femur smoothly in a groove, it is actually scraping over the femoral bone, causing pain. it is often caused by an imbalance of muscles; the outer muscles being stronger than the inner ones. <br>the main treatment for it is to strengthen the inner thigh muscles to be as strong as the outer ones. <br>there are surgical options if and only if strengthening exercises don&#39;t help. <br><br>good luck<br> consider following
a. x ray of the foot, to rule out osteomyelitis, if present needs to be dealt 
b. radical debridement
c. npwt 
d. strict glycemic control and sugar charting daily.
d. routine blood investigation
e. doppler study of both lower limb.
f. considering her morbidities, skin grafting can be done to cover the wound. 
g. modified pmr footwear to be advised.
h. regular follow and educationon of the patient to avoid any trivial trauma in future.
i to do amputation at this stage, is very early. but yeah if there is recurrent ulceration, patient is not keeping glycemic control and if other morbidities present(cardiac and or renal), patient is not regular on follow up, amputation can be considered later. 
j. most important thing remember your patient is diabetic, dnt forget to evaluate cardiac system, renal, and ophthalmology to stage and manage other systemic issues in diabetes. hello! redness is mostly rashes only. there is nothing to worry. what you need to do first is to stop using wet wipes,if using. it makes it worse. if possible completely avoid using. also use coconut oil on the area or diaper rash cream. make sure after every potty and if baby puts diaper ,then after every diaper change or after every pee, the area is properly washed and dried and then coconut oil or diaper rash cream is applied. if the baby is on diapers then give some diaper free time. follow this for some time, it will get better. hope this helps. take care brief answer: its probably the heart detailed answer: hello and welcome in hcm i can understand your concern according to the history you explain its not osteoporosis causing this pain. there are three organs that you have to control . first the heart with the following tests: repeat ecg, and the... You are so kind to be this active due to the distress of a stranger. I'm touched by how much you care. I can also see why you are horrified!  
  
Maybe this woman is too far along with the prolapse, but I do know that there is something called a pessary that can generally be inserted to hold the organs in place. I'm surprised this wasn't done long ago for this woman. The nursing home maybe didn't have care of this woman until it was too late.   
  
You seem to be doing everything you can, and you're right in not wanting to get the nursing home in trouble since they aren't the problem. Contacting the urology department of your local hospital may yield some results. Perhaps there's a program for people who are in such dire situations. Please let us know what happens.   
Take care,  
Carol dear blossom<br>you may have a bit of inflammation in the hip joints called bursitis. anti inflammatory medication like voltaren and physiotherapy may help. cut down on the exercise - unfortunately the joints need a bit of rest.<br>dr bets<br> Good evening, thanks for asking at HealthReplies.com. Complaints that you experience can be caused by various things, which among each symptom can be interrelated or not. Among the possibilities are:



 Pinched nerve disorders Infection or inflammation of the nerve lining Low blood pressure Spinal structural abnormalities Kidney stones This condition is most likely harmless, but it must be checked immediately because up to this point, the possibility is still very diverse, whereas the handling of each possibility can be different. So our advice, try to check yourself to a general practitioner, and may go directly to a neurologist, to find out more about his condition through direct examination.
