Just to give a quick update where we currently are.

I had an x-ray and blood test so far. All is coming back negative with no abnormalities found. When he told me the results he asked me what I wanted him to do, as all the results were negative. He then got a bit upset when he asked me if I take paracetamol and I told him that I wasn’t. He told me to go away and take the max dosage of paracetamol for the next three weeks and if there was no change to come back.

Obviously he must have had another thought as he examined my foot and then said that I should have a scan done of my foot. I am now waiting for the hospital to contact me so we can select a suitable date.

I have the distinct feeling that my GP does not really believe my symptoms.
