I've got a long term issue with pain and stiffness in my feet , which I am trying to get treatment for. I find appts difficult and make me anxious , and I don't think I am communicating this properly because of my Aspergers.
So far I've had ordinary physiotherapy and orthotics, which have nt helped. I would like the hospital to do a gait analysis and MRI scan to find out why I'm getting this pain, but the consultants have either said there's nothing more they can do or sent me for irrelevant tests.
I'm wondering if I should mention to the hospital I have Aspergers. There is the Paitent Advisory Liaison Service (PALS) which is supposed to help people with queries about their treatment. Do you think if they knew I have Aspergers I would be more likely to get the treatment I want?
Thanks
