![]() ![]() Gout, for example, often affects the foot joints first. Pain in your feet may even be the first sign of a systemic problem. And many foot problems, including hammertoes, blisters, bunions, corns and calluses, claw and mallet toes, ingrown toenails, toenail fungus, and athlete’s foot, can develop from neglect, ill-fitting shoes, and simple wear and tear.

The human foot has 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 muscles, ligaments, and tendons made of strong fibrous tissues to keep all the moving parts together - not to mention more sweat glands than any other part of the body. ![]()
