Default broken foot bone advice needed.

I'm in Birmingham,England, and broke a bone in my foot 10 weeks ago.
It's healing very slowly,and still hurts. I read about an exogen
machine which can be used for 20 minutes a day on the bone. Does
anyone know if I can rent a machine here in the UK? IOf so,where from?
Or can I get my NHS GP to refer me to a physiotherapist?
Thanks and bye.

You should beable to get a doctor to refer you to a physio terrorist,
possible the one that told you you broke a bone in your foot.
