I've got an appointment to see an orthotist in a few weeks about orthoses for mid-foot arthritis. The podriatic surgeon who referred me told me to get back to him if the orthoses don't work, as the next step will be surgery. So, I am still under his care.
In the past few weeks my left achilles tendon has been particularly painful. It aches at rest and I have a lump on the tendon. The right one is tender, too, but the left is worse. I was going to wait and mention it when I see the orthotist, in the hope that he/she may be able to help with this, too.
The consultant doesn't know about this problem, as my GP referred me to him solely for the arthritis. Is it OK to wait a few more weeks to discuss it with the orthotist? Or should I let the consultant know about it? Just wondering if the orthotist will be able to help if I haven't been referred for that particular problem.

He is very good and I know he will investigate thoroughly.
Best wishes.
