Question 1

when will i be able to get a pedicure after cheilectomy and bone spur removal on the big toe joint?

Accepted Answer

???: Assuming you are recovering from the surgery with a bandage, you should wait until it isfully removed. I really do not see any reason why you can't get pedicures after foot surgery. Ask your surgeon.

Question 2

what's the treatment an longterm medication for ankle bone spurs and big toe joint spur if there is pain an symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Bone spurs: Having bone spurs on those joints usually means there is arthritis of those joints most likely from an  injury since you are only 22 years old. Typical arthritis takes many more years to develop.  O-T-C anti inflammatory medication may help. However, long term use is usually not recommended. There are some topical anti inflammatory meds that can be prescribed. Best to see your Foot Specialist.

Question 3

foot swelling. big toe joint is growing more bone it seems and it burns. ice sometimes makes it worse. what can i do to help it go down?

Accepted Answer

Big toe: See your internist and have him check your uric acid levels to rule out gout.

Question 4

which is the best for hypoplasia of the middle phalanx/ joint in pinkie; artificial bone/joint implant or cadaver bone/joint transplant also, toe to finger transplant. is it possible to get a synthetic bone implant + toe joint transplant ?

Accepted Answer

: I doubt any physicians on this panel could answer such a highly technical question. I would start by consulting a hand surgeon, probably at a university hospital,  who could answer your questions or point you in the right direction.

Question 5

can a car accident jamming your toe cause a ganglion cyst and bone spur?

Accepted Answer

Ganglion cyst: The cause of ganglion cysts is not known. One theory suggests that trauma causes the tissue of the joint to break down forming small cysts, which then join into a larger, more obvious mass. The most likely theory involves a flaw in the joint capsule or tendon covering (sheath) that allows the joint tissue to bulge out.

Question 6

Question 7

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Visit to the : Foot doc , if there is a bone spur and have pain then you may require surgery.

Question 9

what is the best treatment for bone spur in bottom of big toe?

Accepted Answer

Best??: If you can be comfortable with a change in shoes or a pad - good. If padding or shoe change does not work other conservative measures are not likely to work either. Surgery would then be your best course.

Question 10

pain at the base of my big toe when i bend it, i thought it was just dry skin but i fixed that and still pain.do i have a bone spur or what?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps you : Have pain as a result of having a funtional hallux limitus and so the mpj doesn't flex well and more pressure gets placed on the bottom portion of the toe. That's something i'd look at.
