Knowing when to see a podiatrist can help you manage or avoid serious pain and keep your lower limbs healthy. Foot pain isn’t normal, and it isn’t something you should live with constantly. In many cases, painful feet won’t improve without intervention or treatment.If you have lower limb pain that lasts for more than a few days and doesn’t get better with at-home care, you should see a podiatrist. If you notice a change in your skin or your nails, whether it’s the color, temperature, or some other issue, see a podiatrist. If you’ve injured your foot being active or playing sports, or you have a condition like diabetes that affects foot health, or you’re just interested in maintaining healthy lower limbs, don’t wait—see a podiatrist!
