I wish I could find a podiatrist like the one I had decades ago. I was in my 20's and my feet hurt so much! Someone recommended I go to a podiatrist. The podiatrist could have sold me on those things they custom-make for flat feet- forget what they ere called, but they cost a bundle.
Instead, he suggested I try buying Dr. Scholl's shoe pads, which raise my feet, for little $, and since then, my feet don't hurt.
I agree with you and the other poster about doctors cutting peoples' toenails.
I am by no means railing against doctors doing this and medicare fraud. It is a necessary service, and people deserve to have it. I was saying that I personally feel funny about lying to get it and would rather not. But believe me if that was the only way I could get my nails cut, I would.
Actually I found that soaking in vinegar softened my nails and I was able to cut all the nails except the big ones.
so next time I will soak again and buy some good clippers or scissors and try the big ones.
BTW, I cross-posted this to the Health Forum, and there is also a lot of information there, if anyone is looking for more info.
