About: Western Infirmary/Gartnavel General / Trauma & orthopaedics

(as the patient),

After suffering with sore feet for years and being told exercises were the only treatment needed my doctor referred me to the Podiatrist at the Western Infirmary.

After a very in depth consultation which included blood tests, xrays and advice but most importantly I felt as if Mr. Thomson listened to my symptoms.

It was decided that the best route would be an ultrasound and I was diagnosed with PLANTAR FASCIITIS even though this was still painful I felt as if I was getting somewhere.

At my follow up appointment it was decided that I would have an injection under ultrasound. I was told everything that was going to happen to me and put at ease. Instead of me dreading any more follow up appointments I could now go in with a better frame of mind.

Mr Thomson was so understanding and at last I feel as if I can get back on track with my life as before I was very restricted in my social activities.
