Getting up on your feet
This is an excellent manual on the education and care surrounding the feet. I am a diabetic and have problems that were covered knowledgeably in this text. The scope of this book is comprehensive and the information is applicable in a wide range of foot concerns. The thing I liked most is that the average person can read and appreciate the material without having to have an extensive background in podiatry. It is very user friendly while still presenting a depth of information. Highly recommended!

Great Book
I have a ganglia cyst on both feet, as well as other feet problems. "Those Aching Feet" described the ganglia cyst problem very clearly. AFter reading about it, I was relieved to discover that an easy solution was available. I visited my doctor and had the fluid drained.

It's a (surprisingly) easy read that seems to cover everything foot related. I give it a very high rank compared to other medical books I have read.

Best book available for anyone with foot pain or problems
This is THE book to get for foot related problems. I have a few other "foot" books on Amazon.com and local bookstores, only to find out that they were targeted at doctors or didn't cover a lot of area. "Those Aching Fett" covers a wide range of possible problems that we humans have with our feet. I am a sometimes athlete and have also had bunion problems. This book gave me lots of practical advice for diagnosing what was wrong with my feet and then how to start taking care of it myself. The author takes care to constantly remind the reader to consult a phychician. I found this to be a helpful reminder, since it's easy to try to treat everything at home and skip a trip to the doctor, but there are so many times when seeing a doctor will quickly solve a problem that you can't fix at home. Dr. Dobrowolski let me know my options and reminded me to see the doctor.

I should note that I found this book to be easy to read. As I mentioned before other books were very heavy on the medical talk. This book has all the details and presents in a way that non-medically inclined people like me can understand. I also like the stories that she tells about her patients and their foot problems and solutions.

Finally, Simple Solutions To Basic Foot Problems
Ok, so who's feet don't hurt? Especially if you are woman teetering around on high heels all day? I've been a runner on and off throughout my adult life and I found Dr. Dobrowolski's suggestions for athletes particularly helpful for basic problems that plague the recreational athlete. Thank you for creating a great resource! ... Read more

Footworks II - A Book for the Lay Person
As a patient who wants to understand more about my foot problems, I find Dr. O'Connor's book easy to understand, well organized, and covers a broad range of topics. There are excellent photos and drawings that illustrate each chapter plus a glossary that is very helpful to the lay person. I highly recommend this book as a reference tool to understanding your foot problems.

Very poor
Author is an egomaniac typical of most orthopods. He uses outdated technology and advice given for foot deformities is definetly questionable. Better to read a book by a real foot specialist- Podiatrist.

Great read for the patient or the physician
This is a fantastic, easy-to-understand book for anyone who has foot or ankle problem and wants to learn more about their condition. I have various foot ailments, including on and off again plantar fascitis and club feet. This book, given to me by my physician, has greatly forwarded my understanding of both diseases. I highly recommend this book!

I highly recommend this wonderfully clear, practical work on the foot and ankle that is appropriate not only for patients and physicians, but also for parents, teachers, and athletes. ... Read more
