Guest guest Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Hi , I just got my AFOs in March. I too got very depressed. I guess I didn't want people to look at me differently, like they didn't anyway ha! Now that I've go them I don't know what I ever did without them. I am so proud of them that I show everyone my " new legs " . You will not regret getting them. The problem I had was pressure sores and a huge callus on my left heel. My left foot turns in a lot more. But once I got through the initial adjustment I can't live without them. I am 34 yrs old. How old are you? My orthotist was great. He has worked a lot with me. I hope you have good luck. I, too was too stubborn to admit I need the AFOs, but now I am so glad I have them. I hope when you get yours you will feel the same. Good luck, Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
