i have varicose veins and i know the job i am doing is making them worse. i did have most removed from one leg, but was warned that i have weak veins and more have begun to appear. i am covered by the disability descrimination act as the condition affects the work that i can do, my employer took on board my condition and offered me the job with an unpaid 15 minute break (i work 4 hours per shift, 3 shifts per week). but could not offer me a stool or seat at the till point as they said it would breach health and safety. what i want to know is should they be doing more? should they be giving me a paid break? i'm considering going to the doctor but have a feeling that he will say that i need a 10 minute break every hour (my employer would prob. only offer these unpaid as the company cannot even afford to pay overtime, and there would no point me keeping the job). or he will tell me to leave (which i don't mind doing if i have a good enough reason, as health comes before work).

my feet all of a sudden are very painful on the outside of both feet,it hurts when I walk,pain medication does take it away,However all my life I have had these to small bumps in the middle on the outside of each foot and this is where it hurts the most even when touching it.I bought new shoes a while back and the right foot started hurting ,thinking it was my shoes I bought another pair of shoes and within one day the other foot was hurting too.They are two different kinds of shoes.Both were brand new,I stand all day,however have never hadthis before .Anyone know what this might be?Do arch problems effect the outer part of the foot too?Sometimes it hurts on the bottom of my feet too.I am a normal weight female in her middle fourties

Sprained my ankle 1 month ago. It was a bad sprain with bruising and a lot of swelling. The pain has subsided for the most part. However, the pain initially was on the outer side of my ankle and now the pain is radiating up the inner side of the ankle. I had an xray done by an orthopedist and it showed nothing. Should I ask for an MRI? There is still some light swelling. It is so frustrating waiting for this to heal and now I'm getting nervous something is wrong with it or it didn't heal properly.
