Question: What is the difference.? Help Please! .?
Ok. I'm trying to decide who to make an appointment with. An Orthopedic Surgeon or a Podiatrist.? Ive been having bad problems with my left ankle and foot after breaking it several times. I can barely walk on it to be honest. Another problem I have is. I have also broke my right foot several times and its causing me some problems. And I had my right knee Reconstructed after falling during cheer practice. The Dr that did that surgery wasnt able to see patients a week after my surgery due to malpractice and I feel my knee is still screwed up( kneecap pops out of place and goes to the side or back of where its supposed to at least 2 times a month) The surgery happened 4 years ago
Note: I have never been to a Dr for my feet or my ankle before and I want to get my left ankle/foot feeling better before my knee and right foot. I have insurance now after being uninsured for nearly 5 years. So im trying to decide which Dr to go to. Thank you!Health Question & Answer
