Wow that sounds very intense. Do you now or have you ever worn AFOs?

For a long time, I refused to wear AFOS but after falling and breaking my leg in

2 places and having plates and pins put in, I have been wearing AFOs for

several years now and I feel very secure and comfortable wearing them but it

sure would be great not to have to depend on them.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

No, I have not had to use AFOs. In fact I'm not totally sure what they are. I

have 3 brothers and 1 sister that also have CMT, as well as my Father. although

two of my brothers and my father are in a chair. They are much older and have

progressed. None of us used AFOs (probably a pride issue).
