Foot Facts

By Dr. Eric R. Tepper, Podiatrist FOOT & ANKLE PAIN

The ankle joint joins three bones, moving through a wide range of motion and supporting a person's entire body weight. These features make the ankle suscep- tible to pain and injury. Most foot conditions result from acute injury or stress on the area due to high-impact activities, improperly fitting shoes, or repetitive motions. Strains can range from mild feelings of pain and stiffness to ruptured muscles that cause internal bleeding and bruising. Sprains occur when ligaments become torn or overextended. Overuse, trauma, and prolonged pressure are common triggers for bursitis, or inflammation of the fluid-filled, protective sacs near joints. Pain and tenderness just outside a joint may be tendinitis, which is often caused by inflammation or a small tendon tear.

The human foot is an amazing marvel. When its complex parts aren't working together properly to allow you to walk in comfort, it's time to seek a podiatrist's attention for diagnosis and treatment. As a physician who specializes in foot care for men, women, and children, a podiatrist's extensive training provides the necessary experience to treat a full range of foot and ankle disorders. Have your feet got you down? We offer complete family foot care at Rice Medical Center. Please call 234-5571 for a Tuesday appointment.

P.S. Other causes of foot and ankle pain include fractures, plantar fasciitis, and : bunions.

Waligura and Perez competed in the calf scramble Tuesday, Feb. 26, while Yanez got his chance Thursday, Feb. 28.

Strength and determination took over as Waligura, Perez and Yanez each managed to capture one of 14 elusive calves and pull it into the win-

ner's square during the performances at the Houston show.

In exchange for being successful in the calf scramble, Waligura will receive a $ 1,000 calf purchase certifi- cate donated by Seale & Associates PC. Perez will receive his certificate from Royce Homes LP while Yanez' certificate will come from Eric Carter & Associates.

This is the beginning of a year- long project of grooming, feeding and caring for the heifer. Supervised by their agricultural science teacher, they must keep accurate and detailed rec-

National Poison Prevention Week March 17-23 is National Poison Prevention Week - a good time to

poison proof your home if infants or young children are present. Re-

moval of potential poisons is a good first step. Common poisons include certain plants, household cleaning products, gardening chemicals, many

medicines, and contaminated foods. Substances that may be considered harmless to adults can be toxic to the very young or the elderly.

After a suspected poisoning, contact your local poison control

center. (Find the phone number wow and write it where you will find it in an emergency.) You may be instructed to get the victim to a hospital emergency room. Save the container of the suspected poison for medical

personnel. Syrup of ipecac may be given to induce vomiting (but NOT if the victim swallowed a petroleum product, lye, or an acid). Activated charcoal is sometimes given in the emergency room to absorb the poison

before stomach pumping. Intravenous fluids may be administered to maintain the blood pressure while potentially flushing out or diluting the ingested poison. Antidotes that block the effect of poisonous substances also may be given.

Cason William Callis Shanna and Caben Callis of San Antonio are pleased to announce the birth
