Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a dieabetic on meds. I have developed a problem with my feet. I woke up and there was some swelling on the bottom of my right foot. I called my doctor at the local VA and she said she did not have to see it but for me to keep me foot elevated and look for sign of infection. Who or what kind of Doctor do I need to contact?
