Should I go to A&E?

So you know more than your physiotherapist?

You haven't been doing the exercises have you?

No, your better off making threads on TSR.

I have been doing the exercises.

Obv I didn't mean I know my than the physio. She asked if I get and tightness/pain in the heel, and I said yes.

however, I don;t feel any tightness around the arch and my foot usually feels fine(ish) in the morning.

I just feel she needed a name for it so she can write something down for paper work.

Have you been doing the exercises regularly and properly? Ask for a referral back to your physio or make an appointment directly and discuss it with them. TBH Physio is the way forward with your issue but you seem to be reluctant to go back and see them about it. xx

Well, the physio just told me the same as the GPs did, despite me keep saying I already do all those things.

I'm gonna go to the GP again tomorrow...

Should I go to the hospital. I have this problem with my foot/ankle and it's really effecting me.

i can't go out, I struggle to walk places. Been like this for 6 months. I've had this for about 5 years, sometimes it's okay, but I can always feel it.

I have been to the GP. I went in Febuary and she said it was just a sprain. I tried to explain to her that it wasn't, but she seemed to just ignore everything.

I went back again after 2 weeks, like I was told, saw another GP and he told me to do some stretches, which I said that I already do, he seemd to ignore that and said i'd be fine in no time.

I went back 2 weeks later and I was referred to a physio.

Waited a month for the physio and she told me to do stretches, exactly the same as I was doing before and the same as the GP had told me to do. She said come back in 3 months if it continues.

I tried to explain it's been going on for ages, but she seemed to just ignore this.


It's really frustrating, I can't go out anywhere. After about 10 minutes of walking around the house/standing up I have to sit down. For about 6 months i've done no exercise and have been restricted to this ******* chair/bed. This is a continous thing but has gotten worst in these last 6 months.


if I go to hospital will they take me more seriousley.

Yes, so go back to your physio and tell them that it's not been working for you. Do you expect them to read your mind?!

I;ve been back to the physio twice, GP 4 times.

Did you tell them you're still having the same problems? If so, they should have changed your exercises.

Do you have flat feet? Have you seen a podiatrist?

Well, she offered me an injection for something I don't have, so I didn't take it.
She said come back in 8 weeks if it's still troubling me

I have flat feet and similar things with my ankle where its like the joint disconnects and I cant stand on it properly until it settles down and aches for ages.

And I have problems with my knees much like that of OP where when I was 7 I knelt down and began screaming because I had a sudden extreme pain for months I couldnt bend it properly (had X Rays and lots of doctors in and out of the room looking at it) and they never found anything. Now I cant lay my legs out for too long without my knees getting kind of locked and having to struggle against the ache and pain to get them back to normal. Maybe there are just things they miss?

OP Youll have to be more forceful, if youve seen that many and said the same thing each time to be ignored. It took me 5 years to get an mri for something else because every time I mentioned it they just kept saying 'it probably wont show anything, you just have blah blah blah, try this medication', eventually I realised I had to say 'I want a referral for an mri' and then he just said 'sure I can arrange that'.
