At the beginning of May I went over on my ankle and fell down the bottom two steps of the stairs at home. I was rushing out the house as I was driving 10 kids from the north to London that morning and I’m well known to have weak ankles 🙈
However since then I’ve had pain in my left foot! I never suffered with much swelling at the time and have no swelling currently and never had any bruising.
Its much much much worse if I’m walking round the house bare foot or recently I wore ballet shoes to a wedding and I could barely walk the following day with the pain!
it’s my left foot and the pain is slightly to the left but central on the top of my foot mainly but I can get pain on the bottom of my foot! Weirdly the pain is much worse if I’m lying down and my foot is on its side (either side) and I can wake in the night due to the pain. In the morning I hobble round the house and have a slight limp because of it most of the time now. The only shoes I can tolerate is my trainers anything else the pain is horrendous! Driving is also painful when using the clutch and anything long distance or over an hour ish I just can’t stand the pain it causes.
The thing is I know A&E is rammed and with it being an injury from 8 weeks ago I don’t think that’s the right course of action. There is a walk in centre local ish but again with is being an oldish injury is that the right course of action? I attempted to see my doctor about is last week but was told I need to be seen by a doctor but they’re busy and ring the out of hours but I felt like I was wasting a semi emergency appointment with a doctor that could be more beneficial to someone else or a child.
any ideas what it could be? And what if any course of action I can take?
