Hi all have not been on for a while, so many things happening and not good for me :roll:
I was doing swimming classes to get some exercises for my Osteoarthritis.
Last time visit I got a black eye in the disable changing room the top from the paper towel holder came flying off and got on the eye, lovely black eye for 2 weeks. If that was enough I got home from a lesson the next week and that night my toes got very itchy and could not scratching them, looked it up and saw that it was the same as in the link below athlete’s foot that was from the pool as well. :x

Had broken my little toe years ago and now the same toes are very painful going into the ball of my foot. Is this arthritis or from the infection received from the pool. Got the medicine in the link below from chemist and that got rid of the itch and a lot of the infection but am worry about it not going away completely and end up with arthritis in the broken toes from about 6 years ago. I have got osteoporosis as well. :roll:

    Might be worth getting it checked out with Gp just to make sure..
    They can give your toe a good check over and you can ask about your concerns..xx

    Hi Emily
    Like Tracy says you go and get it checked out, then they can rule out infection, I got infection in my ankle a couple of years ago so dont leave it.
    Good luck with it, and let us know how you get on.
    Love

    Hi Emily

    l would get it checked if l were you - easy to think it's just athlete's foot, but always wise to get these things checked out.

    Shame the hydro hasn't helped the way it should have done :roll:

    Should have a health warning!

    Love
