I waited months when I lived in Wingham for a appointment for the podiatry clinic in Herne bay queen Victoria hospital. When I actually had my visit, the lady was uncaring, and very abrupt.
She must have been having a bad day. I was told I had plantar fasciitis and gave me a few excersise to do.
Also she gave me a pair of insoles to wear in my shoes, which I have done.
She also told me that they would cure it, along with the excersise and if I came back again complaining of the same thing, she would know that I have not been doing the excersise.
Over the next 18 months I have persevered with the insoles and excersise and it has got extremely worse.
I saw a new doctor in Herne bay, as I moved to the area, he gave me a course of physio in Broomfield surgery and I think I am slowly getting my foot better.
It transpires the insoles I were gives have in face worsened my foot as the have made my feet turn out causing more pain to the foot. I feel very angry that I have been wearing insoles that tilted my foot in completely the wrong direction, hence prolonging my excruciating painful feet,
I am going to make an official complaint as soon as I find out the name of the 'lady ' I saw in the podiatry clinic.
Unfortunately, I can't remember the actual date of my appointment,
I only went once so it should be on record.
It was roughly 2016
