Hi

Booker52

Hi thankyou for letting me join.

I have just been recently diagnosed with severe talonvicular and midfoot arthritus. I have recently just seen an orthopedic surgeon who was brilliant and spoke to me about what was happening. Previous to this over the last year my doctors put it down to sciatica and dismissed my ask for a scan to see why I was in so much pain.

The last year has been awful , feeling very low tearful and alone . But now im a bit more happier with things even though my arthritis is here to stay .
