Funny bones!

I just want to apologise for the lack of blog updates lately peeps, I have not been too well. I have had a few appointments trying to get doctors/chiropodists to do something with my foot which has been a bit of a struggle.
For a few weeks, I have had severe pain and having difficulty walking. Knowing my own body, I knew that there was something wrong with the bone in my foot and was anxious as I've been suffering from cramps and pins and needles in the foot too. When the doctor said that it was a bunion, I was so relieved but was still upset that the doctor hadn't given me anything to help the pain or swelling. He told me to see my chiropodist which thankfully got an emergency appointment, but still, she didn't seem to know much and just said that she'll fax my doctor to arrange an x-ray. She also said that my foot was inflamed.

Still not hearing anything about the x-ray a week or more later, my mum got me in to see a duty doctor quickly, blissfully this doctor was much more helpful and understanding. She said that the foot was infected and inflamed so given me anti-biotics to help the infection and pain for over the weekend with it being Easter weekend.
On tuesday, I have to phone back the doctor to find out about where the missing fax is about the x-ray. It is really discouraging and upsetting when specialists say they'll do something straight away and then not do it.
So sometime later this week, I will let you know how I get on with this foot.
