Fun with Podiatry
I’m a specialist girl.
I’ve see the Ophthalmologist, Gastroengologist and the Podiatrist. (And who says I don’t support the medical community.)
My adventures with the Podiatrist started yearsssssssssss ago, when I was a little girl (Ahh, I miss those days). My leg (esp the knees) used to have stabbing pains almost everyday and I would literally cry myself to sleep. My parents and I were baffled. Doctor after doctor couldn’t explain why and all that was accomplished was $$ down the drain. Until, someone told us about a Podiatrist (basically a specialist of the foot, ankle and related issues). That was the first we’ve heard of it, but we went to see him anyway. And boy, he was a life-saver!
Dr Tye Lee Tze of The Podiatry Centre was the first Podiratrist in Singapore. When we went to see him, he had just set up his practice. He was the first to know exactly what was happening and told us it could be easily fixed. EASILY FIXED!! After alllll those misdiagnosis and wasted $$?
Apparently, I had high-arched feet. And as such, I couldn’t walk properly on the ground, which strained my bones, knees, etc. So with custom-made insoles and a good New Balance walking shoe, the pain stopped. Just like that. After a few years, the doctor said my feet had developed properly and I didn’t need to see him anymore. So years past, with no pain, no insoles.
Turn the page to a month ago. I started exercising, just normal walking for half an hour. Guess what happened? The pain came back (only less pain since my tolerance level is much higher now)! ARGHHHHHH!! So after yearssssss of not seeing him, I went back to Dr Tye. Now, because my feet is weird (narrow heel, broad front), I have to wear another insole. Meaning, no more nice but bad-for-feet shoes (No high heels, no fashion shoes). Well, at least I can save money on shoes now.
Anyhoo, longggg story short, if your feet is hurting consistently, I highly recommend Dr Tye. He’s caring, kind, easy to talk too, explains things veryyyy well and knows what he is doing.

Hey, I haven’t checked your posts in a while, nor have I talked to you so I figured I’d say hey.
hey.
I know the feelings of specialists. I get the ear ones. I’ve probably told you this story, but it is fun (at least to me so I figured I’d continue.) Anyhoo, so I have had ear infections since I was two, and they never go away. say la ve. I get tubes I get holes, I get just about everything. Eventually my ears decide to develop something the ENT can’t handle so I go to the specialists the specialists refer people too. It turns out it is weird scar tissue. And a way my ear decided to fix itself. Fun times……….. and then I found five dollars.
So right now there is another a crazy politics things going on in Nashville, and it seems like the sort of thing you might decide to rant crazy on. So I’d figure you might want to take a look. Give it international coverage or some such thing….. Check out English Only In Nashville TN
What a blessing that there are doctors who can treat these afflictions. So what if you can’t wear stilletos!
Hey;) I’m pretty sure he’s too far of a commute for me;)!
HAHA:)
But I’m so glad he helped you! I gave up pretty shoes ages ago!
And guess what, I have the narrow heels too–they’re a pain to find fitting shoes!
