"There is no substitute for one-to-one advice from a听top medical expert and that's what we offer our callers and emailers. But for each person who calls to ask for help, someone else phones in to pass on a tip or a suggestion -听it's a great programme to present."

Feet
Each foot is made up of 26 bones, 33 joints and more than 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments.
We tend to ignore them, but most people in their lives will have a problem with their feet.
Some foot problems are inherited, whilst some develop from illnesses, or from the pressure of badly fitting shoes.
Fortunately most common foot problems can be treated. Bunions, hammer toes, in-growing toenails, athletes foot and callouses can all be treated successfully, either with medication, surgery or, in the case of sweaty feet, a treatment more usually associated with wrinkles - botox.
Joining Barbara Myers in the studio to answer your questions is consultant podiatric surgeon Barry Francis, who practices within the NHS as a Consultant Podiatric Surgeon at Herts听and Essex Hospital.
Please contact the programme with your questions or comments on 08700-100-444 on the day of broadcast or e-mail using the Contact Check Up link above.
