More Bad News

After getting my CT scan results in December 2014 I was pleased to hear that the smallest of my fractures had now healed!

However I was still in a lot of pain and requested an ultra sound scan which would be the final investigation.

Last week, I found out that I do have Posterior Tibial Tendinitis. I also found out that I have a tear in this tendon which could benefit from being surgically repaired.

For the moment I have decided to continue exercising and working on my ankle through physiotherapy alone! I find the NHS ones I have been referred to, to be absolutely useless unfortunately!

In 6 months time I will review and if my pain, swelling and lack of flexibility continues then I will be going for a second surgery to investigate, repair the tendon and maybe have the screw in the inner side removed.

Best wishes to anyone out there! I hope that my short blog here has provided you with some form of answers to questions you may have had.
