I was an ODP for years and absolutely loved my job. I left because I had a foot injury at home in 2020 decorating & after X-rays etc with no breaks it was found i had a rare congenital birth defect. Only one surgeon in northwest knows about the condition but only ever seen it with athletes who have broke their tib/fib. It’s called
distal tibiofibular syndesmosis with bone marrow oedema. I’ve had my first of 4 operations last year which consisted of shaving the bone & putting a stitch in & he said it was worse than he thought & I will be having more surgeries
It’s so much worse when you have medical knowledge & need surgery but the plus side was I organised my hysterectomy & my gp only found out afterwards
Sorry I will stop before this becomes a dissertation
