Hi angmares, i've got to go and see a podiatrist on thursday for insoles as i walk on the outside of my foot on both feet have done since i was little they only noticed it about 6 years ago i wore there insoles before for 3 years & they didn't work but am willing to try again i'm going to see what he thinks to me having an ankle fusion as they do all biomechanics. If he suggests it may be an idea i will ask my doctor i'm going to ask her for a second opinion on my ankle with a different orthopaedic surgeon in a different hospital i have a few choices of hospitals can't believe the one i got he is one of the top ankle surgeons in wales & does treatment for the welsh rugby team but he manages to cock up on my routine operation probably cause i wasn't paying i'm not the first person to have problems after surgery with this surgeon anyway what ever happens i'm entilted to a second opinion and will go for one even if my doctor does not like the idea of an ankle fusion it's the specialists opinion i want. I've fallen over a couple of times this week luckly not hurting myself to much just a few scrapes & bruises cause my left leg has collapsed on me. Got to see my neurologist on the 8th march don't think i'm going to get much information from this appointment but i'm being optimistic don't think they have seen someone with my sort of tremor before they don't seem to know alot as it only happens when i stand on my right leg & put weight through the leg . I'm meant to be back in the pain clinic in march but i haven't had the appointment yet.The new tablet i have started pregablin is not working but have to go up to the maximum hightest dosage next week i will message you once i've seen the podiatrist & asked the doctor about the second opinion & the ankle fusion the appointment for a second opinion will probably take a couple of months they don't do things quickly down here but if i write a letter to the health board may get it a bit quicker. Still waiting on the appointment to see the muscoskeletal specialist about my pelvis. How are things going with yourself ? i will keep you updated on what happens next for me.
