Guest guest Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 Terri~ It's great to hear from you -- especially with you being an adult treated with the Ponseti method. I'm just curious if you have pain and/or problems with your foot now as an adult after having to have two surgeries. My husband has/had bilateral clubfeet and had numerous surgeries (he wasn't treated with the Ponseti method). He doesn't complain, but I know his feet bother him -- especially after spending the day walking at an amusement park or things of that nature. My son has one club foot. He is two and was treated by Dr. Ponseti since five months of age. He already had one unsuccessful surgery for heel cord lengthening before we went to Iowa. Right now, his foot is doing great, but it's a little stubborn, so I wonder what might lie ahead for him and us down the road... You live in Galesburg, Ill? My in-laws grew up in that area. I know my father in law lived in Galesburg at one point in his teenage years. We still have some family living in Aledo, IL. In fact, all is my husband's grandparents lived there until they passed away. Anyway, it's a small world. I'm willing to bet that some of your family knows some of my husband's family. We live in Wisconsin now, but we always try to drop in down in Aledo when we go to Iowa City. Take Care. It's great to have an adult here that was treated by Dr. P -- he is an awesome man!

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 The only problem I have with my foot is that my ankle doesn't really bend like its suppose to , & that could be due to a couple of different things ... Didn't actually do the excercises / stretches like they should have been - I have CMT (charcot-marie-tooth , a form of muscular dystrophy) & a little arthritis in the foot..... I really don't want to scare or discourage anyone just because mine didn't work out. Please remember that everyone is different & may have different circumstances. I still believe Dr. Ponseti is a great guy! We didn't find out until I was about 11 that I had CMT...originally I was dx. with a different form of CMT (Dejerine-Sotas) at the age of 11, but at 25 I found out I had a lesser form - known as CMT type 1 A. This I'm sure had alot to do with the castings not working as well - I had nerve damage & didn't know it. I have just found out a little more about my background from my mom - they took me to a dr. here in Galesburg (who is no longer here by the way & hasn't been for a long time) & he put my in a cast but I guess it wasn't done right and/or the shoes that i was put in weren't right. (in other words made it worse). Teri SME456@... wrote:Terri~ It's great to hear from you -- especially with you being an adult treated with the Ponseti method.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 Hi Teri, We're from Michigan (live in a small town about an hour outside of Detroit) and was so pleased to see a post from one of Dr. Ponseti's past patients! Don't worry, I think everyone here finds whatever information we can get our hands on regarding clubfoot as beneficial. My daughter was born with bilateral clubfoot in Feb. 2000. We did'nt start traveling to see Dr. Ponseti until she was 5 months old.
