Pаtient Histоry аnd Physicаl Exam: HPI: This is a 65-year-оld male patient whо presents with a complaint of a “possible left foot infection”. Pt reports this started about 3 months ago. The affected area is located and isolated to the top of the left second toe and has gotten bigger since it started. Pt reports he sought care at an urgent care where they prescribed him an antibiotic a month ago and this got “a little bit better, but not much”. He was instructed to follow up with his primary care provider, prompting his visit today. Unfortunately, since that visit, the pt reports his symptoms have worsened and never fully went away. Pt states that the area is painful, achy, and has started to turn dark and red in places. He describes the pain as “achy” and “burning”, rating it 5/10 currently. The pain never seems to fully go away and is worse with walking or prolonged standing. He notes the pain is somewhat better elevation of the foot. Elevation seems to help improve the pain. The pain radiates up and down the leg at times. Pt does not recall any specific preceding trauma or cold exposure prior to the onset of this. He reports he thinks he has an infection because there appears to be a wound on the foot that has been present since his symptoms started, 3 months ago. This has been consistently present, only slightly improved after taking antibiotics. As for associated symptoms, the pt also reports intermittent pains in both legs at times, particularly after doing a lot of walking but admits to doing less walking lately because of this. The pains run up and down the lower legs below the knee without other radiation. Additionally, he states that the left leg sometimes feels cool to the touch compared to the right leg. With that, he notes tingling at times in the left leg. No complete loss of sensation reported. No other wounds or skin problems of the legs reported elsewhere. Pt admits to slow healing of scratches on his legs in the past, but nothing like this. Pt denies recent fall/injury or known preceding trauma.
