"Left frustrated"

About: Axminster Community Hospital / Podiatry

(as the patient),

Left frustrated with the findings...no follow up, and ongoing problems with my feet. Right foot worst, resulting using a stick for support and balance.

Mri shows no structural issues, and no signs of nerve problems...I disagree completely. There is something they are missing. No one has examined my feet fully, by visual and touch. I feel disabled daily by my symptoms, and have aired my concerns numerous times.

My doctor is great but my health is very complex and always something going on, and other investigations etc.

But I would like to be listened to and to have more input for my feet.

I am really sorry you're going through this, It sounds incredibly frustrating and disheartening to feel unheard and unsupported, especially when your symptoms are affecting your mobility and quality of life so significantly. If you would like to email Podiatry appointments rduh.podiatryappointments-eastern@nhs.net with your name and date of birth or NHS number we can arrange an appointment for you for a face to face assessment with a Podiatrist.

Hi,

Yes please as my feet are ongoing, and need looking at properly.

Many thanks!
