Medical Video: Two Wrong Feet in Ugly Shoes - Erin Brockovich (7/10) Movie CLIP (2000) HD
Women often wear high heels, pointed-toe shoes, tight shoes, and other types of bad shoes. However, not many know that flat shoes that are very flat can even be one of the most dangerous types of shoes out there. Lack of support on the soles of the feet can cause critical problems, including plantar fasciitis, which is tissue inflammation in the lower legs. Overall, these are various diseases that are often experienced by users of bad types of shoes, and many of them even need surgery to restore them.
10 bad shoes
1. Bunion
Bunion is the enlargement of bone or tissue around the base of the joint of the big toe. If the bunion grows, the big toe can change toward the finger next to the big toe and can cause swelling and pain when wearing shoes. Although genetic factors may play a role in the appearance of bunions, in many cases bunion is always associated with poor use of shoes, especially when using shoes that are too tight.
Non-surgical treatment in this case involves the use of shoes with wider foot boxes, usage spacer (giving distance) between the big toe and the next finger, pressing the big toe, or compressing the ice cubes on your big toe. If the simple treatment steps are not effective, the doctor can discuss surgery to remove the bunion.
2. Skin hardening (corn)
Corn is a kind of calluses that develop when tight shoes constantly pressurize the skin. Simple treatment involves use pad foam above corn to help relieve pressure. In addition, wearing shoes that are right and in accordance with the area of the foot that is spacious will be very helpful.
3. Hammer toes (hammertoe)
Hammertoe occurs when the foot starts to bend instead of stepping straight. The middle joint of the finger will bend upwards, and if you put your foot into tight shoes, it will rub against the surface of the shoe and cause pain. In addition, the muscles attached to the toes will continue to weaken if the foot continues to be in this abnormal position.
Hammer toes usually also have corn above the arch, thus adding to the discomfort. To do a simple treatment, use shoes with a wider leg box, wear toe splints, and apply ice cubes to the affected area. If this technique is not effective, surgery to correct the deformity may be an option.
4. Crossed toes
The shape of the crossing of the toes occurs when the toes are wrinkled in a leg box that is too small, and constant pressure causes the second or third finger to move toward the toe next to it. A simple treatment for this condition is to wear shoes with a wider leg box, using spacer or pressing the foot to the floor to make the toes separate, and applying ice cubes to the problem area. If this simple treatment fails, surgery may be an option.
5. Nails grow inward
Ingrown nails usually occur on the big toe when the nails are cut short near the tips of the toes. This injury can be aggravated when you put your foot in a shoe that has a leg box too tight, causing your first leg to press on the second leg, and cause abnormal pressure on the nail. The result of this constant pressure causes inflammation and pain in the nails.
A simple treatment involves using shoes with a wider foot box and soaking the feet three to four times a day in warm water. Trim your nails straight and avoid trimming corners too short.
6. Diabetic feet
People with diabetes often suffer nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) in the legs, and are unable to feel skin irritation, or even friction. If the shoes are too tight, this can cause blisters or sores that can quickly develop into serious infections. If you are diabetic, check your feet every day for areas that are depressed, reddish, blistered, injured, scratched, and also problems with the nails.
7. Neuroma morton
This is an injury to the mid-leg nerve. This causes the tissue around the area to thicken, and can cause pain and numbness. Surgery is sometimes needed to remove this tissue in order to relieve symptoms.
8. Pump bump
Technically this is called the Haglund deformity, which is bone growth that occurs in the heel due to constant pressure and friction on the rigid back and straps of high heels. The only way to treat this disorder is surgery to remove excess bone.
9. Metatarsalgia
This is a painful type of inflammation, and usually occurs on the ball of the foot as a result of repeated pressure on the metatarsal bone, the bone between the toes and the arch of the foot.
10. Low back pain
For the case of high heels, Dr. Splichal says that the increased weight on your foot ball can cause your pelvis to lean forward. So, to compensate for this, you have to lean backward, increasing the curve of the lower back, so that it can place a strain on your lumbar spine. The higher the heels, the greater the pressure.
