I experienced pain in my achilles tendon and swelling for several weeks before I decided to contact Private Healthcare. I was referred to a physio who discussed the condition and recommended I first check DVT by going to my GP or A & E. I called up AXA and expressed my surprise at being referred to A & E by private healthcare. after several transfers to other departments, the final lady told me she would refer me to set up an appojntment with a physio that would be able to refer me for imaging/scan for DVT. A few days later I had the video appointment and the physio expressed that he did not think I had a DVT and he could not refer me for a scan. I have ended up with no scan and no physio.
