Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Posted June 4, 2006 Hi All, I found out on Friday that the 5 doctors I've seen cannot agree on a surgery to untwist my twisted feet and have left it up to me to decide which path to choose. So, I have to call on my medical expertise (thank goodness I trained to be nurses aide in highschool many moons ago!!) and decide which operation will most improve my situation and not cripple me. I need an orthopaedic surgeon who knows CMT....anyone know of one? I live in the Eastern United States but am willing to travel to find my answers. I also was told to look into Reiki and give it a try before and after surgery. Anyone doing this now? Does it help? None of them can tell me the effects of CMT on these surgeries and vice versa and I am at my wits end. I actually broke down in a public place yesterday and bawled like a baby. I feel like such an ass but have had too much going on besides this and just couldn't keep control of my emotions any longer. And hey, if anyone wants to know how to clear a room or expand your 3 feet of personal space....try, just out of the blue, having a total breakdown. Plenty of breathing room then. I thought Fridays appt would atleast solve one of my problems, instead it was the proverbial last straw. Oh look at me whining again, sorry gang! Well, I look forward to your input. Thank you all.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 Hope, I would want at least 3 of the doctors to agree. Note to self ... never go to Hope's doctors. LOL Quote
