Thanks for that.

I've got John D and NoseFAll on "ignore". I doubt I've missed anything!
Still not got a GP appt. Same story as Monday. I'm going to phone the practice manager. This carp about no appts for 2 weeks is only to help them with their NHS targets to the detriment of the patient. No wonder people go straight to A&E.

Excellent news.
I thing we've got another Gasbanni. Doesn't know whether to ignore or not or is just too scared of missing summat. Hilarious.

Eating fanny...Rofl....you want to be careful sticking your face in those!!!
What you need to do is try and rule out what it isn't.... then go from there.
A thorough history take.
Physical examination including assessment of the peripheral circulation (preferably with a Doppler), neuro exam and MSK assessment.
If you can rule out a mechanical cause you can then start to think about the neurological, metabolic, hormonal suspects. That's where a full blood panel is needed to rule things in/out.
As an NHS podiatrist I've been lots of folk with neuro pain and it's a right bastard. I can assess all the mechanical and 1st tier neurological culprits and then suggest onward referral to various specialisms. Bottom line though is you need to reset your baseline to a degree. This means stop eating processed ****e, cut back on the booze and move more. I'd have a crack at a very low carb diet and 20mins of brisk walking... not strolling... Find a hill and get out of breath.....See what happens.
Given the pain is in your feet though it wouldn't hurt to ask for a podiatry assesment.... Just pray you get someone that knows what they're doing, and gives a ****. It's always useful to have someone outside the medic profession, but still a healthcare professional, act as an advocate.

I've got a referral to a neurologist and for electrical tests on the nerves in my legs so I might be making progress. For a fat git I do walk a fair bit with the dog, I rarely drink alcohol these days but I do eat rubbish. Well, it wasn't rubbish until I "cooked" it.
