Dear Mr Chandrashekar,
Following my image-guided steroid ankle injections in both my ankles, the first of which I had in May 2022 and then again on the 2nd of August, I wanted to let you know that since the injections and the subsequent physio, my Achilles pain and swelling have largely disappeared.
My ankle swelling is much reduced, almost to a normal state in the morning (with just a little swelling on the outside of the ankle bone on either side).
I can now walk around 8-9000 steps a day without any pain or major issues, that is triple the distance I was able to do before! I can also do occasional longer walks up to about 7-8 miles.
So I am very pleased that I have had the treatment and thank you for the care and friendly treatment.
Another beneficial effect of the treatment and generally feeling better is that it has led to me being able to lose about a stone and a half in weight since the first injection last May and this treatment, along with the vein treatment I have had, has given me a boost in the way I think about exercise and being able to look after myself.
One thing I thought I should particularly mention that I appreciated, is that as someone who has struggled with my weight all my life, to be seen and treated in a non-judgemental way has been really helpful overall and the increased mobility along with general well-being has led to my first successful stretch of weight loss I have had since having children 25 years ago. A journey I am still on but which the increased agility and well-being is helping significantly.
Thank you and best wishes
Rosemary.
