According to Dr. Brad, one of his patients, David, told him that he has struggled to walk for a while. Ever since he developed the condition, he has never been able to lead a normal life. Not only are they a source of pain, but he is also embarrassed by his ‘stunning feet’ and the cause that has utterly ruined them. \u201cMy feet are just a train wreck, and I\u2019m embarrassed about it,\u201d he said. David also struggles to put his shoes on and off. Not only is it painful, but his toenails simply get in the way.<\/span><\/p>\n

In an effort to spread awareness and educate the masses about feet and nail fungus, David went to see Dr. Brad. Per reports, the doctor was stunned when David showed him what had happened to his feet.\u00a0Without knowing what else to do, the doctor set about sanding down David\u2019s toenails because they had been untended for so long.\u00a0Five years ago, David\u2019s life was turned upside down. That\u2019s when the toe and nail fungus struck him and has impeded his ability to walk. But pain is not the only thing. His feet are also very bizarre-looking, which makes him feel inadequate.\u00a0The fungus struck him while he was at a low point in his life. He had just lost his beloved mother, so he fell into a depression and stopped taking care of himself. The fungus grew worse, and soon his feet were deteriorating.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the program about feet, David accepted a visit with Dr. Brad, a renowned foot and ankle surgeon who said he could help David. However, David had to make one thing very clear before the doctor removed his socks and looked at his problem.\u00a0\u201cI just hope you didn\u2019t have a big breakfast today. Man, you\u2019re in a for a shocker!\u201d David said.\u00a0The doctor removed David\u2019s socks to find that the fungus had completely consumed his feet. David\u2019s toenails are overgrown and bizarrely layered. Besides that, the skin on his feet is very dry and flaky.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Brad was shocked as he examined David\u2019s feet.\u00a0\u201cWhen I removed David\u2019s socks, there was just flakes and flakes coming off of his feet,\u201d he said, as David tries to hide his pain. \u201cI\u2019ve seen worse cases, but this is the worst case of toenail fungus that I have seen.\u201d\u00a0The doctor said, \u201cDavid\u2019s nails were so long that they were curling on top of each other, almost bridging together. His skin was flaking off. You could literally take little pieces of it off. It looked like a croissant.\u201d\u00a0Because David\u2019s overall health was at risk, the doctor had to get to work.\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m going to chip away at David\u2019s toenails, and once they\u2019re removed, I\u2019m going to file them down, so it looks like a normal foot,\u201d Dr. Brad said.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to Dr. Brad, one of his patients, David, told him that he has struggled to walk for…\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3861,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[138],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-3860","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-trending","8":"cs-entry","9":"cs-video-wrap"},"yoast_head":"\nDoctor admitted he had 'never seen anything like this' when patient took off his socks!
