At Pasco Hernando Foot & Ankle we know that foot health care needs can change as the years go by. Senior feet have some unique needs. Fat pads are naturally thinner, and joints may start to show signs of wear and tear. In addition, your risk for many conditions increases as you age.

When it comes to fungal infections like athlete’s foot and toenail fungus, we at Pasco-Hernando Foot & Ankle often have patients tell us that they didn’t seek treatment sooner because the condition wasn’t causing them any pain. In honor of Fungal Disease Awareness Week, which occurs in September, we’d like to share some information about how these infections affect your feet and what to do about them.

At Pasco Hernando Foot & Ankle, patients often don't bring unusual foot symptoms to our Hudson office if they're not painful. It is an unfortunate mistake because there are many ways besides pain that your feet may be trying to tell you that something is wrong with them or the rest of your body. Below are some symptoms you shouldn't ignore.
