Specializes in Podiatry

Many possibilities: Have a professional evaluate it. A good history and physical exam along with some radiologic exams will determine the problem and course of treatment.

See a foot doc: Have an evaluation, likely an x-ray will be taken and the doctor can come up with a plan based on his findings.
