My father has asked me to post the following message. Any help would be
appreciated.
Subject: Query about surgery for removal of fungus growths from the
feet and lower legs.
While recently in Europe I was operated on numbers of times to remove
fungal growths from within my feet and lower legs. Many foreign bodies
were removed. These included principally:
1. Calcified deposits, one as large as a quarter and numbers
about the size of kernels of corn.
2. Long, worm-like growths ranging from one to five inches long
and 1/16th to 1/4 wide, a few of them being somewhat putrid.
3. Small sacks (cysts) of putrid matter containing old blood
and fungi. These were typically 1/4" in diameter and up to 1/2" long.
They were near to rupturing, with severe potential consequences.
Prior to the operations I had inflammed conditions in the toes and skin
disorders on the right ankle.
I have been seen by a physician in a Infectious Disease Clinic of a
University Hospital and to a well-recommeded podiatrist. Neither of
them were acquainted with any such surgical procedures. The physician
in Europe said that these procedures were little known. Neither of the
doctors felt that I had a further problem.
Yet, I detect some clues that indicate that I may still have some
remaining
problems. I am not interested in paying further for doctors to tell me
they know nothing of such conditions or procedures.
I would like to communicate with a doctor who either knows of such
procedures, or who would like to learn in lay terms of the procedures.
(I have fairly complete journal entries about what was done.)
