Poschemo problem with my feet

Posted by patclem @patclem, 1 day ago

Does anyone have problems with their large toenails after loosing both large toenails after they fell off from chemo, grew back but the tips of both toes did not grow back and now have problems with finding shoes that do not irritate the toes and turn them a bright red and burn so bad can’t find shoes that will fit properly. Had found a brand made by New Balance but they quit making the specific style and changed it and now will not work. I desperately need help. Not wearing the correct shoes makes my hips and lowback hurt.

I'm sorry for this problem, and I do suggest working with a podiatrist. It may be that special inserts or something similar and advice about shoes from a professional can come closer to solving the problem than any single brand. Do you think a consultation might help? You are so right about how shoes affective body's entire structure.

That must be very uncomfortable. Here’s someone that used fake nails on her large toenails. She did it mainly for looks, but it may protect the end of your toe in a shoe.
