Update...

I saw my rheumatology consultant today (about my elbow, an unrelated
problem),and spent all my time talking about my feet.

He examined them and coudn't find evidence of neuromas.He also did a quick
neuro, reflex and pin test and everything was fine.
He also did the stoop test on my back and says there's no evidence that the
numbness is related to a compressed nerve.

I mentioned that my voice has gone a bit weird over recent weeks (higher
register, cracking when I speak)and he sent me to get a thyroid function test in the hospital (he also took my pulse which has been racing recently:anxiety orpossible thyroid connection).
I'll know in a couple of days.

I've arranged a phone call with the podiatrist this evening to discuss my concerns about his diagnosis which I'm not looking forward to as the consultant today more or less questioned everything he said!
Maybe the orthotics he wants me to have will help a bit.

I also checked my B12 results at the docs..
712 serum
8.0 flotate whatever that means! (I know above 500 is ok)
