"Foot ulcer"

About: Podiatry / Community Foot Protection Team

(as the patient),

My foot had a bad ulcer, my local doctor had been prescribing antibiotics for more than 10wks and the foot wasn’t healing, my daughter took photos every day and was sending them to the surgery, after the 3rd or 4th picture the doctor had realised how bad it actually was, I could not walk or put any type of pressure on the foot and had been suffering for months before  

I was referred to podiatrist at the shankill well-being centre, I have been seen by Ivor, Connor and bronagha, sorry if names are incorrectly spelled, they have done a brilliant job getting my foot back to a healthy state. They where very quick at seeing me and dealing with me, referrals to hospital and small stint operation all thanks to the quick thinking of the podiatrist doctors, my foot has fully healed and is healthy again and I would really like to give thanks to these 3 podiatry doctors, and everyone else but mostly podiatry ❤️
