Dear BCF foot Doctors.

[Carl_steveo]

Right!!!

About two months ago I was at a BBQ having a drink and a laugh with mates, had a few more drinks and was playing football. Anyway I managed to kick the floor and really hurt my foot. I walked it off and carried on playing. Since then it's been paining whenever I walk on it. It's normally fine in the morning but after standing and walking about on it all day it starts to smart more and more. The pain is sort of in the middle of my foot towards the toes.

I don't know if it's worth going to the Doctors about it, is there actually anything they can do. Don't want to go to A&E and waste their time because frankly it's not an accident because it happened ages ago and it's hardlys an emergency.

Is it worth going to a walk in centre and spending hours and hours just sitting there waiting while people who need help more urgently get seen too. That's just really wasting mine and the Doctors time again. Has anybody else done this and do they know what would be done anyway. Is it worth just leaving it and letting it sort it's self or should I actually get it seen too. ???


Cheeers.

Can you not call up NHS direct or something or was that the thing that was shut down?

There are a lot of very small bones in the foot, its possible you have fractured one.

I did summat similar playing footie at school. Broke on teeny tiny bone in the middle of the foot somewhere and was in pain for weeks!

Make an appointment to see the doctor.

It's what they are there for and your GP is the correct first port of call for something like that. You're not wasting their time, you have an injury and it's not getting better. Getting it sorted out is their job.

People go to their GP for much more frivolous things than chronic foot pain.

At a total wild guess from your description, I reckon you have plantar fasciitis as a result of unbalanced walking following your injury.

Take a trip to the docs, nothing too lose, the longer you put it off, who knows what more damage you could cause.
Recently ive managed to tear my lateral collatoral ligament in my left knee , last week, which is rubbish. My legs bends in awful places.

Get it sorted!

Hello

As has been said Plantars fasciitis (Policemans heel) is is worth checking out although I would expect the pain to be more intense when you start to bear weight on the foot after a period of relaxation.

Have you noticed whether the foot is inflamed after any period of standing or walking about (measure the circumference of the foot when you first get up in the morning and again in the evening or whenever.

It sounds like the pain is organic rather than neuropathic although it can be difficult to delineate between them in limbs with numerous small bones and lots of nerve endings.

If it were my foot, I'd probably be making my GP earn their £70.000 per year.

All the best
