Guest guest Posted November 21, 2001 Report Share Posted November 21, 2001 Hello everyone, I just joined this week and have enjoyed reading the messages, it is good to be able to talk openly about our lives. I was diagnosed with CMT 8 years ago after complaining of cold sensation in my legs. I went through the terrible testing and fleed the room like a scared cat near the end of the tests, I'll never forget that day. I a 53 year old male living in San Diego, CA. My recent issues with CMT are chronic ankle sprains and random falling. This year I went through a lot of physical therapy and I still have pain and problems with the ankle. The Dr. felt that I should try strengthening the leg muscles, and after a couple of weeks with leg excersizes I now have strained the knee. I do use arch supports but don't routinely use ankle or knee supports. I think I will have to start using them more routinely as I seem to sprain easily. Does anyone have an opinion as to whether you can just use ankle and knee supports from the store or whetheryou need to see a orthepeadic surgeon or a orthotics specialist. I glad I found and look forward to reading my messages. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
