Have been down the NHS route and thinking I'd like a second opinion just to put my mind at ease. Diagnosis is an accessory navicular bone (extra bit of bone just below the ankle - apparently it runs in families but no known relatives have it!), not currently symptomatic (& may never be).


NHS podiatrist advice was "just come back if it hurts", but I'd like a longer appointment (and second opinion) to discuss what 'steps' (!) my daughter can take to try and prevent it causing any issues further down the line...

You could try Peter Gauntlett of Lewisham Foot Health. @ Mindbody therapy in Forest Hill SE23 1BX. www.lewishamfoothealth.com

I recently went with a foot issue and was surprised to have a little scan done on a toe there and then. Definitely deals with kids also.

      Problems finding Delmosart in pharmacies

      By ianr · Posted

      Noted. I wasn't quite sure from their material whether the 'ad lib' supply by pharmacists had to be mandated; hence the suggestion to check.  There are plenty of individual manufacturers of generic methylphenidate, probably quite a bit cheaper too.  I'm afraid I didn't see radnrach's "can't really take an alternative", so apologies for presuming otherwise.  For myself I'm generally willing to trust that any manufacturer's offering of, say, 27 mg methylphenidate hydrochloride tabs, would contain that, and I'm not too worried about the minor quirks of things like their slow-release technology. I think it's likely that the medicines Serious Shortage Protocol does definitely give pharmacists some degrees of freedom. But it's apparently not in operation here. See the Minister's recent reply to a written question: https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2023-11-13/1660#.   , which seems to approximate to: we can't apply the shortage protocol here because the drugs are in short supply.
