Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Support Group

Did they offer braces or were you already wearing them before the back operation. they gave me the cheep off the shelf kind the first time and they worked great. then I had some custom made and they spend more time in the closet. It is also better to wear a high top boot even with the braces. I am 50 yrs old and found out that I had after I had already retired from the USAF.
Well I hope that this has helped in some way and if there is anything that I can help you with concerning this please feel free to ask me ok bnndaniel@yahoo.com

i have a very mild case of drop foot in my left foot. if you see a podiatrist, there are braces that you can get that will help.

Thank you for your replies and yes they did give me some of the braces one that was made for me and one off the shelf.. And then I took your advice daniel and went out and bought a $30. pair of boots and I seem to be able to walk and get around better with them and my cane, walker, or wheelchair which ever I need for that day. I don't think im ever goin to get use to this im always forgetting and falling right on my face.. How do you remember every sec when things are happening around you.. Anyways thanks for the advice and the support it has been a big help...
