"In constant pain with my foot"

I am at the end of my tether and don’t know what to do really. For over 25 years I have been attending this foot clinic and quite a while back I went for my routine appointment. After doing what they normally do I explained that I was having some considerable pain in between my little toe and the one next to it. I was told I had a corn there, I remarked that I thought that was unusual and was told it was but was given something to treat it. It did not work.

In November I went to get my nails cut at the clinic and explained I was still in a lot of pain to the point where I was having trouble walking and even wearing cotton bed socks was uncomfortable let alone shoes. I was told I had an infection, and it was dressed.

Six appointments later and I am still in the same position, I am in agony. I don’t know what to do next at my last appointment I spoke with the nurses again and asked for their advice but there was no one senior available for them to ask and they didn’t seem to know the solution either. I was told at one point it was because my shoes were ‘too old’ to which I told them it was the only pair that I could manage to hobble to the appointment in! I am very cross, upset and just want them to do something so the pain stops. I have another appointment soon but I am not sure it is worth going anymore!
