Guest guest Posted January 29, 2001 Report Share Posted January 29, 2001 Someone on this list knows the proper name for the condition (is it you, ?). It is related to TCS, though I imagine there may be people with the arch problem who don't have TCS. My feet look like I was born on high heels. I always thought my feet were very pretty. I didn't know they weren't normal. They are very thin, no fat at all, very petite, feminine - about the only thing on me that is feminine. I always liked them! --- ATL013@... wrote: > In a message dated 1/26/2001 11:28:21 AM Eastern > Standard Time, > mzw4@... writes: > > > > My first surgery stopped all the numbness that I > had. > > It made the arches in my feet relax. > > ... > > Are high arches a sign of SB/TCS?

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2001 Report Share Posted January 29, 2001 The high arch thing? - pes cavus it is common in anyone who has neurological damage of the lower spine. Gee - wish my feet looked feminine. They are almost as tall as they are long and wide, and short (size 3 now) with all hammer toes. I can only wear shoes that were made from a mold of my foot. -- Life shrinks or expands In proportion to one’s courage. Anais Nin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2001 Report Share Posted January 29, 2001 , My husband tells me I have monkey toes. My toes are very long and with the spasm thing, they often separate and go their own way, much like a monkey. Wish I could control my toes like monkeys do! Pes Cavus. I'll have to try to remember that! --- V wrote: > The high arch thing? - pes cavus > it is common in anyone who has neurological damage > of the lower spine. > Gee - wish my feet looked feminine.
