Guest guest Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 I had an experience yesterday at my doctor's appointment to share. I Had been waiting since January on a new AFO. I FINALLY got to pick it up yesterday after it being returned for corrections three times. My doctor is usually very nice. Yesterday he was rude. The brace still doesn't fit right. He complained because my foot is small and they don't carry shoes for me. He brought me a shoe two sizes bigger than what I wear. Naturally, the AFO didn't fit right in that shoe. He stated " I have done everything I know to do for you " . He did suggest a therapy that involves putting my feet in hot wax. That just did not interest me. He suggested I return to my orthopedic surgeon. My achilles are swelling, the left worse than the right and I hurt up the backs of my legs. I did have an ultrasound on my left achilles and he found a bone spur. Yesterday was probably my worst experience since being diagnosed with CMT.
