Dana, like Dr Ebonie's patient in the forthcoming episode, said that she no longer shows her feet to anybody because she is embarrassed by how they seem.

Dr Ebonie's patient is at a crossroads in her life, wondering if she can continue work. She compares her pain to nails piercing her in the same spot over and over, with a tremendously severe pain reaching right into her bunion. She notes that it has recently become worse, with the bunion appearing bloated and loaded with water. It is exceedingly uncomfortable for her to work as a hairdresser, and it worsens when she needs to stand for lengthy periods of time.
She first became aware of the growing bump on her foot five years ago. She admits to trying to shove them into cute little heels until it got out of hand, and she couldn't fit into them anymore. When people come in and see her in boots, they inquire about her condition. She expresses her displeasure with the question about her foot. She had to get medical shoes since she couldn't fit into her attractive shoes anymore.
Due to the extreme pain, she was forced to wear men's shoes owing to their fit. The wide base of the men's shoes is what she needs right now, which she acknowledges is really embarrassing. She has reached a point where it is just tiring for her to go to work every day. She also dislikes having to think about what to wear because wearing a shoe at all seems difficult at the time. Furthermore, she appears to be irritated by the fact that she can't even put on a tennis shoe.
She is first embarrassed when she shows her foot to her client. The lump on her foot is visible even before the sock is removed. The foot above the socks appeared to be in horrible shape. The customer confesses that she was surprised by the size. The hairdresser mentions that it has recently turned red and purple. She is afraid that something else is wrong because she isn't even bleeding. The bump seems to be split on the side of the foot. She is concerned about it being large and filled with fluid, and she wants to know what else is within. She also wonders if it is even fixable.
The hairdresser ultimately confesses her intention to visit Dr Ebonie Vincent in Orange County with her friend Ariel. She is hoping that the doctor will be able to repair her foot and remove "this monster". She is also concerned that if her foot does not heal, she would be unable to work.
Will Dr Ebonie Vincent be able to put her out of her misery? To find out, watch the latest episode of 'My Feet Are Killing Me' on TLC this Wednesday at 9/8c.
