I saw the dr. last month and the dr. said there was nothing in my foot. I had stepped on a cactus. A few days after that I was in horrible pain and called, I was totally disregarded and was told to call my regular physician which I did, She saw me and said she was sure that a piece of cactus was still in my foot. The results came back and showed that there were a few left. I went today to another podiatrist and yes it’s there, too deep to remove and i am scheduled for surgery next week. I don’t recommend this dr and I could have been sparred this horrible pain for such a long time if he had done a good job.
