Apart from showing up to my appointment too early this morning and having to sit in the car for half an hour it went well.  Mr R tried his hardest to make my hip snap and it just wouldn’t, almost, but not quite.  I could feel and pinpoint the area of discomfort though.  He thinks that with the acupuncture and a bit of strengthening it should come right (and really, imo, is already well on the way). He is writing to my physio to tell her to do what. she wants as she can’t break anything lol

Brought up about my foot as I had x-rays taken yesterday, all apparently normal and the fact I was to be sent for a bone scan to be sure.  Said I’d rather not have any more radiation and would prefer an MRI if it came to that.   That would mean I’d have to be referred to SportsMed for them to send me for an MRI as a GP can’t do this so I asked that even though a stress fx of a metatarsal might be beneath him, if he could possibly write the referral.  He pulled up my x-rays on the computer (I love how they can just log in and see everything!), zoomed in on the area in question and said without a doubt there is periosteal reaction indicating a stress fracture (March fracture – common injury in sodiers).  The radiologist’s report was indeed normal so he is writing to him to review it and submit a new report lol.  Hopefully won’t even need the MRI to confirm now.  So looks like I’ll be off to a podiatrist to sort out something for my shoe to help take the pressure off and try to avoid it getting worse and needing casting.
