complaining of pain under 5th met head after 2/3 hours walking!!
S/B nhs pods had x-ray which showed " something " under 5th( why dont patients write things down). given what to me looks like off the shelf orthotics with no modifications.
due to time restraints( his not mine) did the quickest exam, very little bio-mechanical abnormalities,
however appears to be ?? tendon? ligament? under the 5th met head which moves from medial to lateral.it seems to "ping" not oedematous or enlarged, not hard ( or soft for that matter)
doesnt appear to be cyst, F/B,H/D, no hard skin. I suspect if there had been any other suspicions the NHS pod whould have identified it.
I'm in mind to make prescription orthotics with a 5th met cut out, and will certainly make a better exam at Xmas ( which is when he comes back to the area).
He is thinking of walking hadrians wall next year , so need to get it right.
Will refer him back to NHS if above my experiance but he is not too keen.
Please, no back biting, I would like some advice only
