Dear Doctors: I recently learned I have a small peptic ulcer. The doctor said it’s a common occurrence and not a big deal. I’m having a lot of indigestion and wonder if the ulcer may be the cause. I’ve tried taking Nexium, but it makes me feel nauseated. Is there any treatment for a peptic ulcer?

“Mom, may we have a slumber party?” “Perhaps sometime when you won’t have school the next morning.” It was an easy answer. Time and again the subject would pop up.
If you have pain on the bottom of your foot at the heel, especially when you take your first steps of the day, you likely have plantar fasciitis. One of the most common causes of foot pain, plantar fasciitis pain can subside with time, but sometimes the pain keeps people from doing what they love, whether that be running, walking, or other pleasures of life. I once saw a young woman suffering from plantar fasciitis who got some relief from an injection. A few years later she returned wanting another injection so she could dance pain-free at her own wedding.
