Podiatry Arena is a forum for discussion
BETWEEN Podiatrists and other foot health professionals.
Increasingly people with their own foot problems are posting here seeking help. This is not the forum for this and these messages get deleted. The forum rules are explicit:

Podiatry Arena is not a forum for those with questions about foot problems or Podiatrists. We recommend that you post these in the Foot Health Forum

As much as we would like to help, the aim is for this forum not to be overtaken by specifc patient complaints (look at the numbers posting in the Foot Health Forum), so this forum can stay focused on communication BETWEEN podiatrists and other foot health professionals. There is nothing wrong with Podiatrists seeking advice about particular complex patient problems.
Occasionaly someone has posted a message about their own foot problem and it has taken time for a moderator or an admin to notice it and Podiatry Arena members have taken the time to reply. In light of this the thread is usually left as effort has been expended by Podiatry Arena members. This is the exception and almost all theads will be deleted.
There is also the legal issue of providing online advice which has not been resolved in some countries, so we just do not want to go that way.
