Feet exams

Do any ladies have to be barefoot for their exams. Are there any ladies who get their feet and legs examined and if so how does the doctor examine them?

I’ve never had to take my shoes off at the doctor

My "other half" , always has her feet examined by our F.P. Dr., cause she is Type II diabetic. She also has lichen planus, so our Dermatologist examines her feet, legs and arms for this. Never at her GYN's, or Cardiologist. Yes for both of us by the Podiatrist.

I get leg cramps once in a while in my right leg. It is because of mineral deficiency.

I always go to my regular doctor. She asks about location of pain, intensity, presses there on my lower itself to check intensity(I always dress in Indian casual for all my appointments and even otherwise) and then gives calcium etc as medicine, because we know the reason as once she had ordered blood test for the same.

Last night I got cramp again and again this morning so she referred me to neurologist.

She had me lie down and asked me to remove my lower. It was slightly embarrassing to be examined like this for the first time.

She took a visual look first then started with asking me to lift, push pull my leg, then pricked something in my thigh then in my calf muscle. (Checking your sensation she said) In the end she made me walk in the room and then asked me to stand with closed eyes. I almost fell in that step (I know this problem of mine)

She said everything is ok but I am getting cramps because my nerve there is tensed. It will get better with the medicine else she will ask for further investigation

Sweetydolly, have you considered a licensed chiropractor for massage therapy on your legs?

No please

My wife was told recently that she has high blood sugar and should have her feet looked at. They're healthy feet, I can attest. But I'd love to go to the doctor with her if she decides to do it.

I was At the sports physical examination of my girlfriend.

She had to take off shoes and socks before the examination.

She had to wiggle her toes.

She had to spread her toes and the Babinski reflex was performed on both feet.
