[QUOTE="Sooty62, post: 1493862, member: 203606"] Yes it's very frustrating. I have always been to a private chiropodist and it was she who became very concerned as I was having really bad problems with my foot and had been to my doctor or several occasions suggesting it might be the onset of Charcot Foot but was poo pooed every time. My chiropodist finally took things in hand and actually phoned the doctors and complained that I was in need of being referred to hospital as it was onset of the dreaded. From that day on, some two years or so ago, I have been looked after and have Charcot Foot. I am seen regularly by Podiatrist, Orthotist (although not that often) and Consultant and thankfully my foot is in quite good condition but it could have been far worse. If it had not been for me having to pay for Chiropodist regularly to check on my feet etc I could be in a very sorry state now. So I say, I know it's expensive but you must think of your own health because at the end of the day you have to take charge of it because we can't rely in other people. [/QUOTE]
