Guest guest Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 my 3rd child was born with bilateral clubfeet. We sucessfully went through the casting treatments but ran into some problems with the brace/shoes. My baby hated the braces, which I knew he would, but he developed severe blisters the first day. The doctor suggested giving him a rest over a 4 day period and trying them again. The blisters got worse and did not seem to be healing. The doctor said to keep the braces off for 2 weeks and he would assess the heels at his next appointment. I am not looking forward to putting the braces/shoes back on. Has anyone else ran into this problem? The blisters do seem to be getting better but will putting the shoes back on cause them to come back? Are we putting them on wrong? We have been to the fitter/orthotist's twice and seem to be putting them on as he has instructed. Please share with me your story if you have gone through the same thing. Any words of encouragement will help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
