I found one of my callings in life & career, I want those of you who want to be their best selves. I have no desire to run marathons or Ultramarathons like the Kosciuszko Ultra that was on last weekend https://kosciuszko.utmb.world/
Peter & I have spent about 18 months working together & becoming friends in the process helping Peter achieve his goal to run up a bloody big mountain!!! I didn't have the heart to tell him there is a very comfortable chair lift to the top.
I'm no influencer but I'll be your motivator & support animal ;)

Look, I have a degree and over 25 years of practice, but apparently, my 5-year-old patient is the true expert on how to debride a lesion. 🤷‍♀️ Getting a kid to accept podiatry advice is a two-step process:

Convince them you're a qualified professional.

Pray they don't injure themselves attempting to "do it better" themselves. It's an exhausting, hilarious, and necessary part of the job!

So this 40 something guy woke up in the middle of the night, and it felt like his big toe has decided to audition for a role as a throbbing, fiery demon.

Congrats, you might have gout! It's basically your body throwing a surprise party for itself—and the surprise is a bunch of painful, needle-like crystals made of uric acid. Fun, right?

So, what’s the plan to kick this unwanted guest out?

Medication: The Party Crashers

NSAIDs & Colchicine: Think of these as bouncers. They show up, calm the chaos, and tell the pain to take a hike.

Allopurinol & Febuxostat: These are the long-term security guards. They work behind the scenes to keep the uric acid levels low, so the party never even starts.

Lifestyle Changes: The Sobering Up Act

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate: Drink water like it's your job. It helps flush those pesky crystals out before they can cause trouble.

Dietary Tweaks: Time to break up with your favorite purine-rich foods. This means saying "see ya" to red meat and "so long" to beer. Your taste buds might be sad, but your toe will thank you.

Move It: Light exercise can help keep your joints happy and your weight in check, which also helps prevent future flare-ups.

If your big toe is still giving you the silent treatment (or the loud, painful kind), it's time to call in the professionals. A doctor can help you get the right meds and a plan to ensure your toe doesn’t turn into a volcanic eruption again.

It's been just over a year since we brought Street Side Medics to Victoria with the opening of our Bourke Street clinic, and what a year it’s been. 🎉

Huge thank you to everyone who has supported and volunteered with us over the last 12 months, your commitment has made a real difference, and we’re grateful to continue this work together in Victoria. 🤝❤️

These are scans of a 30 year old male who has lived with hip pain all his life thanks to Hip Dysplasia. Now he is starting to experience ankle and heel pain, all on the affected side.
Our scans and analysis helps paint a better picture and helps to answer the questions why exercises aren't helping with the pain.

Working with interesting people allows me to learn about interesting places.

Did you know that The Dolomites are a stunning mountain range located in northeastern Italy. They are a part of the Southern Limestone Alps?

Specifically, they span across three Italian regions:
Veneto
Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol
Friuli-Venezia Giulia

The range is known for its dramatic, jagged peaks, and it's easily accessible from major cities like Venice and Innsbruck (in Austria)

🌊: Millions of years ago, the Dolomites were actually a tropical sea filled with coral reefs! You can still find fossilized shells and marine life within the rocks, a testament to their ancient past.
