Guest guest Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 I got my first pair of AFOs when I was 18 and like any 18 year old girl, I was concerned about people seeing me in them so i stopped wearing them soon after. Personally, I regret not listening and wearing them because I really think I am in worse shape for not wearing them sooner because I was always tearing tendons and breaking bones just by walking. Now I wear them daily and I cannot walk far at all without them. Do what you feel is right for you. Get a second opinion, but don't be stubborn like I was, because it may change your life. Now, with my AFOs I can walk in the snow and on uneven ground without falling all over. I also walk more " normally " with them. Some things work for some of us and do not work for others. See what works for you. I also have normal looking calves and have been wearing these for a good 5 years now. Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
