That morning when I rang for the early appointment I was feeling anxious and just hopeful something could be done as I've had this problem a while now and isn't getting any better so I though the Doctor would help and put my mind at ease but made it even worse by that poor reply and shooing my out her office when she said 'I have other patients to see' even though the waiting room was pretty empty and there was me thinking Doctors took the time to listen and examine patients that proved me wrong.
The most recent Doctor I saw was more kind. I have seen her once before and made me happy to see her again. I should have gone to her in the 1st place about my ankle but that morning I was desperate so early birds appointment you don't get the chance to choose who you see where as the kind Doctor only has pre booked appointments which I'm not surprised as she is the nicest one at the practice.
Next stop is a referral to my local hospital to a foot specialist as I have already tried Pysio and at £30 is expensive to go every so often I was on the list for NHS for don't know how long will take. It didn't really do anything for me.
I don't really see any other solution part from surgical. I hope my appointment comes soon and get to the bottom of this problem as its even affecting my walking and things in general. There is a treatment that could be done that has been proved quite well but with 3-6 months recovery, wonder how work will take it ?
Theres always another way- Injections etc. Just pray you don't have to have surgery- foot surgery is really grim :(

ReplyDeleteIt seems that you have lost confidence in the doctor’s opinions and advice, as I would have done if I was you. (Rude Bugger!) Doctors (GP's) have limited knowledge when it comes to specialist areas, and you should be positive that you have been referred to a specialist for consultation. It’s a shame that you have not been referred earlier but be hopeful that this is the next step and you will hopefully get to the bottom of it. :) Don’t stress yourself out self diagnosing as this will only add to your worry, a operation may not be the answer and you don’t know the outcome as yet. Good Luck Chickadee and I hope you are not in too much pain in the meantime. x o x

I don't think an injection will do it. I'm not bothered if it is surgical. Think they need to put the ligament back in its place as it keeps moving back and forth.
ReplyDeleteStill waiting for the appointment to come through nan says his broken his ankle lol and don't know how she's knows that :S
