My Feet Are Killing Me

Interesting show! Cannot believe people take so long to care for their feet. Also very informative by the two foot surgeons

What is preventing these patients from taking off their own shoes and socks? I understand building the suspense, but at the very least, the doctor shouldn't have to remove their shoes. When you go for a mammogram, they don't take your bra off for you.

I have watched at least 3 patients waking during surgery. This should never happen! The Anesthesiologist is not paying attention to the patient. When he is alerted by the surgeon of the problem it takes him to much time to sedate the patient! This is shown on tv. People who have fears of this situation happening to them are having their fears played out. After the first time it should never have happened again! You have an Anesthesiologist problem!

Here another medical show has broken thru this time "TLC's" "My Feet Are Killing Me" and it's interesting and informative on conditions and medical matters of the feet as two podiatrist surgeons operate on folks feet from everywhere it features rashes, skin conditions, growths, enlarged feet and bone and heel spurs it's really somewhat gross and gory to view still it's a fun watch to see patients getting help and relieve from pain and discomfort!

The show is interesting and we see some people in terrible pain helped often after many years of pain which is good , but also I have noticed many of the problems are likely linked to the size of some of the patients. Many are obese some morbidly obese and putting 2-3 times a normal weight through your feet and ankles/ knees will clearly cause problems and pain long term. Many of the patients wouldn't get the surgery in the U. K. until they lost weight but I guess as they are paying for it directly in the USA it's just done without any guidance on how reducing weight might aid them long term. I guess with some it's chicken and egg if they have problems they can't exercise or walk far from pain so put on weight. Although if you know that why not check your calorie intake and monitor or reduce weight that way. Without losing a lot of weight many will just get further foot and ankle problems later on and the merry go round of surgery starts again.
