### Patient: Doctor, I think I have Osteomyelitis. My foot has been hurting for weeks and now I can't even put any pressure on it.
### Doctor: I'm sorry to hear that. Based on your symptoms, we need to do a complete physical skin exam to check for any wounds or infection. We also need to measure your glucose levels because high blood sugar can contribute to this condition. We'll need to do some wound care management, potentially with traction, splints, and other methods. An examination of your foot is necessary, and we may need to debride any wounds or burns. In some cases, surgery to remove infected tissue may be required, so an excision procedure may need to be scheduled as well.
