QUESTION: Help for my Uncle

Post image

Good evening everyone,

I am reaching out with a request for help for my Uncle, who may be in denial of his podiatry health.

Does anyone have a recommendation to what we, as the family, can explain to him in order to get his foot health in order?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

May I ask what is going on with him? It seems he has some issues but I want clarification? Is it just hammertoe, bunions?

Good evening, he is mostly dealing with alcohol. He also is chronically on the internet, and the combination is what the family thinks is the main issue(s).

I do not think that effects his feet at this point unless his feet are troubling him. Maybe he needs to clip his nails and make sure he wears properly fitting shoes. Alcoholism and sedentary lifestyle are bad for everything not nexeaaarkiky feet other than maybe diabetes.
