So I had the foot lady back again and she seemed to be so much better! I think I find her one of my most rewarding patients because when I had her the first time I couldn't even work out what was really going on and put it all together clearly in my head, and she had yellow flags that I couldn't really work out either. So when she came in and said that she had 2 full mornings with no pain when she hadn't had a days rest from the pain for over 18 months I was so happy!
I decided that she was still not a great believer in physio (yet) so I would still keep her NWB and do the same treatment I had done the week before as it had obviosly done something. I also wrote a letter for her to take along to the podiatrist outlining what we had improved and what we were currently working towards with physio, so that we could work together to fix her foot. She seemed to be so much more willing and she even seemed excited that we were going to start working in WB the next week. It was a very different feeling to most treatments because most of my patients just accept what I choose without much explanation but with her it is more of a discussion of the options and what we each feel is best.
I hope my next treatment with her is just as good!
