Is ham good for treating gout? In brief: No

Gout is a kidney issue.

It is triggered by certain foods in your diet. One small study suggested cherries may help but it was not a strong study. Since meat is a food with a high purine content, it has the potential to worsen the gout. ...See more

Dr. Katherine Parodi answered:

Hi! So I cut my big toe nail to short on the side and now it has a a red swollen semi white looks like it may have fluid bump on it. pto in page -jm? In brief: Ingrown toenail

when toenails are trimmed too short they can impale the flesh as they grow forward causing pain, redness, drainage.

Trimming the offending border out can often cause it to become worse if you don't get the entire margin out. It can also cause it to have temporary relief only to return , again, when the nail grows. Seek medical attention from your local podiatrist. ...See more

Dr. Katherine Parodi answered:

When your toenail splits in half, will it look normal again after it heals? In brief: Time will tell

This depends on the degree of trauma causing the nail to split.

It may grow back normal, it may grow back deformed. Also, trauma can lead to a nail becoming infected with fungus which will also cause a nail to grow abnormally. Only time will tell how your nail will grow back. It takes approx. 1 year for a great toenail to replace itself, toenails grow approx. 1mm/month. ...See more

DX PTTD PTT Ankle OA Knee and Hip. Tried land therapy then aqua therapy. Transitioning to land therapy difficult. Everything hurts. Any suggestions? In brief: Bracing

You may need more aggressive bracing and supportive devices for the foot.

It would also help to know if your PT tendon is injured (via MRI). You may need to be immobilized in a cast to allow the tendon to recover. Follow-up with your doctor. ...See more
