About: Salisbury District Hospital / Trauma and orthopaedics

I had key hole surgery on my knee.which then left me with 1 of my feet being painful and swollen.i went to physio and was told i had fallen arches((( which to find out wasn't the case)) )..in December 2014 i want for a scan.by that time both my feet were bad.i could hardly walk.i saw someone from orthopaedics in January 2015 and was told the damage was already done and there was nothing they could do.i kept going back to see my GP as i was in so much pain.i was referred back to same orthopaedic consultant who i saw in January 2015.i was then told i could have Achilles tendon transfer.it really made me angry as they could have said that when i 1st saw consultant in 2015.i had my 1st foot surgery in February 2016.i was in hospital over night.cant thank all the staff enough.they were brilliant.i have seen my consultant on quite few occasions since surgery.i am in more pain now than before my surgery.my consultant doesn't know why im in so much pain.i still cant walk properly.my life is on hold.my foot is not right.i just want some answers.i cant have the same surgery on my other foot as the 1 i have already had done is still not right.i have been living in constant pain 24/7 for just over 3 years now.i have even asked my consultant to give me false feet just to get all the pain to go.i was told it is not the answer.... what happens now??????????
