Bunions typically develop when the weight of your body falls unevenly on the joints and tendons in your feet. A neuroma is a thickening of nerve tissue that can develop in various parts of the body, creating nerve damage. Your feet are the foundation of your body. When you are experiencing problems with pain in your feet, it affects your well being.

Odds are that you've heard of Achilles tendonitis. Maybe a friend or relative contracted it, or one of your favorite athletes was taken out of the game by this painful condition. If you yourself have started to feel the telltale ache of Achilles tendonitis, you may be concerned about treatment, or fear a dramatic rupture of the tendon.
Brachymetatarsia is characterized by a shorter than usual metatarsal bone, one of the five long bones in the feet that end in the toes. This causes one of the toes to be 'pulled back' from the rest, or overlap the others. If more than one of the long bones of the foot is affected, it is known as brachymetapody.
Bunions, or 'hallux valgus, ' are a common foot condition characterized by a 'bump' on the side of the foot, typically just below the big toe. As this bump grows larger, it can force the big toe over the second toe, causing pain and difficulty walking. The definitive cause of bunions has yet to be identified.
Sometimes known as "pump bump" because of its prevalence among women who wear pump-style shoes, Haglund's deformity can occur in one or both of the feet. If you are suffering from Haglund's deformity you will most likely have noticed a bony enlargement at the back of the heel. This inflammation is caused when the bursa, a fluid filled sac between the Achilles tendon and your heel bone, becomes irritated.

After the pain progressed over a period of a year and a half, taking me away from my life pleasures like jogging or playing with my son, I began to search for a podiatrist. I found Dr. Followwill through my insurance company. Upon my first visit, as I explained the pain and he examined my foot, he knew exactly what the issue was and advised me I had to do surgery. I was so nervous
