Most of us during some time in our lives have had our feet ache or be painful. It could be from overuse or improper shoes or just from standing too much. These minor aches and pains should go away after a week, usually by resting, wearing proper shoes or taking an anti-inflammatory or Tylenol. But what happens if these pains or aches don't go away? What do you do? There are many people who ignore the problem, just let it get worse and end up doing more harm than good. Some individuals take it upon themselves to try fixing everything themselves, listening to old wives tales and using every home remedy that's in their cabinet. I'm sure that many of you have tried these things yourself. One example is to soak your feet in very hot water – this isn't recommended. The hot water can burn your feet, cause scarring and cause your feet to swell up even more. If you've injured your foot or have some sort of inflammation, I recommend using ice for the first 24-48 hours to prevent swelling. Once swelling has begun, I recommend you use moist heat or soak your feet in warm water, not hot water. Hotter is not better. I've been told for many years by many people that they believe by using hotter water they will get their feet better quicker. I can attest that this isn't true. This is just one example of home remedies that people are not using correctly and are inadvertently causing more harm. A simple sprained ankle can turn into a serious burn or infection. The money they think they saved by not going to a doctor ends up costing them thousands of dollars, in addition to missing work for possibly weeks or months. My recommendation is if you have a foot injury, infection, or ingrown toenail, please have it seen by a local podiatrist. Call my office today at: 908.236.6999 – and have relief tomorrow.

Clinton Area Stage Troupe (CAST) is happy to announce our upcoming production of The Music Man. CAST is preparing Meredith Willson's classic show for performances on July 30 through August 1. The show recounts the amusing story of con-man Harold Hill, who sells a skeptical Iowa town on the idea of a band to keep their children out of trouble. Hill smooth-talks his way past a suspicious school board and into the hearts of the local librarian and her socially awkward younger brother. From the train ride into River City to the final moments when Hill is in danger of being ridden out on a rail, the play delights audiences with memorable tunes such as "76 Trombones", "Trouble", "Till There Was You", and "Goodnight, My Someone". CAST was formed in 2008 by a group of local teachers, musicians and actors wishing to provide opportunities for adults interested in the performing arts in northern Hunterdon County. The group debuted with 40 members performing The Miracle Worker in the Clinton Firehouse. This summer, about 100 area actors, singers, dancers, musicians and artists are participating in the group's seventh annual summer musical in the North Hunterdon High School theatre. Tickets go on sale June 1. For more information, email: cast.shows@ yahoo.com, or visit the Clinton Area Stage Troupe facebook page or website, www.clintonareastagetroupe.com. DR. HOWARD J.
