I have a bunion developing on one foot - previously causing no problems and GP sent me away with no real advice. Situation has developed and I now have joint pain as well and want to all I can to prevent progression. I phoned health insurance to see if covered for this. They said no, but referred me to an occupational health service which is included. After discussion with their nurse she referred me to a SURGEON at a local Nuffield hospital. I had expected a podiatrist. I looked him up and he deals with lower leg issues but not feet specifically.
Do I go ahead with the appointment and he can me refer me on if necessary. Or is this a colossal waste of everyone's time (and my excess)?
Can't help feeling i'm going to be embarrassed if i turn up with my slightly dodgy (but still perfectly serviceable) toe...
