Can I still have a 'gentle' pedicure ?

[Anna29]

Hello all .

I used to have a gentle pedicure with a great beautician .

She never cut my nails or did any fancy foot heat boot treatments .

All she did was rub moisturiser into my feet nice lite massage .

Then filed my nails carefully - I chose my polish colour .

She would paint my nails for me and I would enjoy having nice toots !

My feet are pes cavus and club foot (born with them like this - Rubella)

They are painful and cramp has set in more with the ataxia .

My left foot has started to curl around more greater of late .

I am in the care of orthotics - have handmade shoes .

Am wondering can I ? still have the gentle pedicures ?

They were always something I enjoyed and looked forward to having .

I do take more hefty pain relief as it is needed with the ataxia in my legs and feet .

Anna, this sounds a very relaxing procedure, it's not invasive, ask your doctor if

you have serious doubts. Personally, I would love to have continuous reflexology!

As it happens, I've got doubts of my own re a Beauty treatment. It's basically a deep facial, so also not invasive. But, recently I've had problems with vertigo, specifically

when lying down/getting up. Even a visit to the dentist was traumatic.

I'd booked this treatment without considering the practicalities. But on balance, I

think I'll just grit my teeth and go for it xB

Hi Anna, If you enjoy it so much, I'd say "go for it"! Sounds very relaxing and if it's non-invasive, I don't see how it could hurt you. As Beryl said, if you have serious doubts, check with your doctor first! ;o)
