I am absolutely fed up.

So frustrating. No-one listens. I wouldn't want to work for the NHS as the staff have no control. They must develop thick skins, which doesn't help you.

Sorry to hear this. Is there any way you could afford to pay privately for a scan? I know you shouldn’t have to but if it’s the only way🤔

Have you looked at physio exercise on YouTube for torn Achilles tendons? To be honest they are often better than what you get from an NHS physio. I saw one recently for tennis elbow and all you get is a link or a photocopied instruction sheet.

I do feel for you not being able to get around in this lovely weather.

Is it possible to access some advice on exercises you could do to help the healing process?
I damaged a knee ligament about seven months ago, but was given a leaflet with advice on what to do. It is still a problem, but has improved.
At least you might feel that you are doing something to aid your recovery.
Good luck.

No wonder you are feeling fed up. 7 months is a long time to be hobbling around

I'm sorry I don't have any advice for you but didn't want to just scroll past

Shocking that you were refused a scan and a physio appointment!!!! Of course it is impacting your life. Another GP visit / phone appointment and make it very clear how much pain you are in and how this is affecting both physical and mental health. You have been treated very badly. Good luck , keep us up to date with your progress.

Thank you both.

Moan away 😥 I am horrified and sick to death of the awful sad cases that I know personally 🤬
You are not alone with comment Re Steeting.

Actually it doesn’t matter if people are worse off than you.
This is you ,this is impacting your life and your wellbeing, I am sorry I can’t offer any solution but just wanted to say I understand your frustration.
The NHS is broken and I see no end to it.

Sorry for the whinge. The good weather is making me want to get out and about, but I can’t go anywhere. And yes, I know there are many people who are worse off than me.
