UPDATE... been to Northwich foot clinic, feeling very positive, got insoles with wedges attached after watching myself walk I can understand why the bursa is not getting better I've been getting so frustrated not being able to get outdoors for a decent walk . I've been diagnosed with Adventitial bursitis involving the plantar surface at the level of the 5th metatarsal head , ive never had problems before and had a tailors bunion for many years, my foot is very painful when exercising and wearing any type of footwear hurts the top and side of my foot . I'm wondering if anybody else had similar and how to help it. ?? . I'm still waiting for an orthopaedic specialist appointment on the NHS which could take up to 52 weeks. I've tried RICE, paracetamol, ibuprofen, compresses, rock tape, toe separators, heat , ibuprofen gels, tens machine, foot spa, massagers, new insoles, expensive socks etc. Nothing helps I'm frightened that I will never get back out there.
