I attended a capability for work acsessment yesterday and one thing the nurse asked was a out pain in my feet. My reply was it comes on without warning and the pain is like bones rubbing against each other with every foot step.

Today while out walking it happened just as I told her but I had to laugh at the be ifits syztem because that will be reported as a lie on my benifits claim.

    I'm sorry your feet can cause so much pain. I do understand it as I can barely walk without my surgical shoes. I think it's unfair, though, to pre-judge the nurse's report but do bear in mind, for any future assessments that supporting letters and x-rays from your GP and / or physio would go a long way to tip the scales in your favour. The trouble is no-one can prove pain but x-rays, MRIs etc can prove it likely.

    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
