I have been suffering with foot pain for a year now and have had physio, laser treatment, ultrasound treatment and steroid injections though my GP and Occupational Health. My GP finally referred me to a foot specialist and my employer decided to pay for me to go private as my job involves lots of walking so it is beneficial to them to get me back out on the street and not office bound as I have been for the last six weeks or so since I finally had to admit that the pain was unbearable when walking. I saw the consultant last week and today I am going to start more physio and tomorrow I am seeing a consultant podiatrist to have custom made orthotics for my boots. I know I should be seeing this as a positive step in the right direction but instead all I seem to able to think about is what if none of this works, will I loose my job? My job is what keeps me going. It has been just about the only thing to get me out of bed these days and there just wouldn't be any point to anything any more if I loose my job.
Feeling so anxious about everything. Started on a new med this morning having spent the last week coming off the last one. Heads all over the place and worried that I won't take in everthing in that the physio says in much the same way as I didn't take in what the consultant said last week.
I am rambling now....sorry...and I need to leave for physio and I am still in my pjs.
