Thick toenails that grow out extremely slowly?
Ingrown toenail removal or avulsions can be permanent or temporary. The appearance of the nail will be narrower after permanent removal and the full width of the nail should regrow after temporary removal. Depending on your metabolism, age and nutrition, the rate of growth can be fast or slow. Average rate to grow the full length of the nail varies between 6-9 months. Trauma to the nail bed or the matrix, (area of specialized tissue that produces the nail plate), may have been caused from the surgery. The inflammation to repair the injury may cause a thickening of the nail plate or horizontal ridges. These can look terrible, especially for a young lady wanting to wear sandals. Other explanations to explain the thickened appearance are fungal infection of the nail bed. The options to treat fungal infections are antifungal medications or laser therapy. The foul odor is typical of fungal debris building up under the nail and should be taken care of as soon as possible. You need to see a professional who specializes in the care and treatment of your condition. You should be able to make an appointment with a podiatrist and they will help to solve your problem.

Do acupressure slippers work for relieving pain?
Hi, Sorry to hear you have such severe pain over the last 3 months. Proper diagnosis is imperative prior to suggesting a treatment plan. Having no history of trauma and having numbness as one of the symptoms makes this more difficult to narrow down. The area of symptoms includes the entire foot and ankle. Most types of sprains and strains will eventually get better over time with physical therapy and bracing. We have a specialized laser specific for treating pain called MLS LASER. This is one of the best remedies and is without any pharmaceuticals. If the problem is neurologic, coming from the low back, then a back specialist should be consulted. Taking ibuprofen and acetaminophen together has a powerful analgesic affect and can be comparable to the relief of opiates. Wearing acupressure inserts can work on trigger point locations, but acupuncture provides a more comprehensive and satisfying result for pain control. (We have an acupuncture doctor on our staff.) For the best treatment protocols for your pain, please seek a comprehensive exam to find out the origin of the pain. Sincerely, Dr. Liddy READ MORE
