Notes

Went to the doctors today about the aches and pains in my left ankle.

I explained the symptoms again and mentioned that in a sports injury book that l have, Posterior Tibial Tendonitis seemed to match my symptoms and asked for his advice. He basically agreed with my findings and in a round about way said hes done all he can do (on the NHS) and suggested a sports physio if l need to take things futher. I was hoping for him to do some sort of examination of my foot but nothing was done, so l do not know if he didn't do one because of everything l explained (what hurts, where and when during which motions) or if he could not be bothered.

Going to reduce my running and continue with the exercises for now, if the ache eases in the next few days then l might know if its working, failing that will have to take a week or two off from running.
