RE: feet surgery for Canadian teen

March 23, 2007

Hello Geoff,

I live in Edmonton as well. And my name is Jeff also... I'm 47 and I was

diagnosed with CMT when I was 3 years old. I have had many surgaries on my

feet before I turned 12. after that I have been advised that the muscles in

my feet and legs would not respond well to surgury because they would

atrophy too much with the inactivity during the recovery process. My

doctor's name is Dr. Warren at the Health Science Centre at the University

of Alberta. Please email me if you would like to talk further. I wish you

all the best.

Jeff
