Thanks for your reply Gcoe!!

I have decided to go private and pay to see an Orthopaedic Surgeon in a weeks time. I'm hoping they will give me a bit more time and look into things more thoroughly.

I am extremely worried about the prospect of osteoporosis at 29 yrs old and hope they will check all the possible reasons, including checking if it is just in my injured ankle.

I see my physio tuesday and hope she will be able to help with safe exercises for the time being.

Thanks again for putting my mind at rest a little!
