You go to your foot appointments. You may never have been told whether the blood supply to your feet has actually been checked.

Most people assume it happens automatically. Often it does. Sometimes, in a busy ten minute appointment, the circulation check is the quiet step that gets squeezed. And you are allowed to ask for it. It is a simple, painless test: feeling the pulses in your feet, and sometimes a small cuff on your toe or ankle to measure the blood flow.

Here is the sentence that does the work. At your next appointment, say: can we check the circulation to my feet today? Nine words that make sure the most silent risk to your feet does not get skipped.

You have spent these past weeks learning what walking cramp, slow healing and colour changes can mean. This is how you act on all of it in one go.

What would you rather know: that your circulation is fine, or that nobody has looked?

You get a tight cramp in your calf when you walk, and it eases the moment you stop. Easy to shrug off as getting older, or as being unfit.

Sometimes it is something worth mentioning. When the muscles in your legs cannot get quite enough blood, they can ache or cramp while you walk and then settle when you rest. That is your circulation asking for attention, not your fitness failing you.

This matters more when you have diabetes, because good blood flow is what heals the small knocks and cuts on your feet.

You do not need to worry, and you do not need to stop walking. You do need to say it out loud. Next time you see your foot care team or GP, tell them: my calf cramps when I walk and settles when I rest.

Cramp when you walk, gone when you stop. What is that pattern actually telling you?

A small cut on your foot that used to heal in days is still there after two weeks. That is worth paying attention to.

Healing runs on blood supply. Every scab, every closed graze, is built by blood carrying what the skin needs to repair itself. When circulation to the feet is reduced, the same small cut that once healed quietly can sit open far longer, and an open patch of skin is a door.

Here is the part people miss. Slow healing is not you being careless or run down. It is often a message about blood flow, and it is a message worth acting on early rather than waiting to see.

So use a simple rule. A break in the skin on your foot that is not clearly better within one to two weeks gets shown to your foot care team, not watched for another fortnight.

If a cut is healing slowly, what is it telling you about the blood getting there?

Ingrowing Toenail and Nail Surgery

This patient had been putting up with a painful ingrown toenail for over 6 months because he was nervous about having the procedure done.

By the time he came in, both sides of the nail had become embedded and were causing ongoing pain, swelling, and infection.

After numbing the toe with local anaesthetic, I carried out a bilateral partial nail avulsion, removing the problematic nail edges. A chemical called phenol was then applied to prevent those sections from growing back and causing the same issue again.

The procedure itself was quick, and the patient was surprised by how comfortable it was after worrying about it for so long.

These photos show just how much discomfort an ingrown toenail can cause — and why it’s often best not to leave it too long. The good news is the toe is now fully healed and pain-free.

If an ingrown toenail is bothering you, don’t suffer in silence — treatment is often much simpler than people expect.
