Hi all,
I just thought I would tell you about my toe infection it started about november 2008 at first it was just like an ingrown toe nail on right foot but then my left foot began to get sore after the podiarty tidy it up by packing the toes he did the right one first as he said this was worse , I nearely fainted my blood sugar wa s low and I was sweaty weak as water , he was scared and asked if I was ok , I said you should have freezed it first, he said right I will do the other one now I said no thanks and got up . took a glusgose sweet and was right as rain again. that night the pain in my toe was awful by the next morning I was not able to put any pressure on my right foot at all the calf of my leg was rock hard , so my wife phoned a taxi and A&e i WENTafter some tests they said the podiarty had packed it so much that the blood was not getting to my toe and that he should not have touched it as the left one was worse.
so came home with anti-btoics they did not work . finaly after much bandageing a new anti - biotics was found and they cleared it up for me . my toe nail is of , I got a steriod injection into my hip that sent my sugars high , they never told me it would do that .
the weather here in Northern Ireland is windy but dry or now, hope it stays like that as I am going out on my mobility scooter.
