A member asked:

Should i see an orthopedist or podiatrist for a foot injury?

I'm biased:: See a podiatrist. Orthopedists who specialize in foot and ankle problems can certainly be just as good. But i'll let my professional prejudice prevail in this answer.

Either: Both are trained to treat foot injuries, although the podiatrist only treats the foot and ankle.

Specializes in Podiatry

Have it evaluated.: See your primary physician and get the appropriate referrals. Both a podiatrist and a foot and ankle orthopedist can help you out.
