My left foot is really hurting me (and has, when I first get out of bed) for a long time, but now the bottom of my foot is swollen and it's REALLY painful. Is there a foot doctor I can go to, or just a podiatrist? Why don't feet deserve a real doctor?? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Podiatrists are "real" doctors and spend their entire training focusing on foot problems (unlike MD's who focus more globally. That said, try an orthopedic foot and ankle specialist [ Reply | More
