Night splints - pressure sores

[Guest guest]

After heel cord lengthening surgery I was told I needed to wear night

splints (the ones intended for plantar fascitis (sp?). My problem is

that I am starting to get pressure soreness on the very tips of where

my ankle bones are.

I have covered them with bandages and worn socks to bed. It seems to

be helping one foot but not the other.

I was just wondering if anyone else had the same problem and what you

did to stop it.

I was told the same thing after the same surgery. I was 7 and I am soo happy my

Mom never made me wear them. We tried for two nights and gave up. I wonder if

people atrophy in night splints? My sons have atrophied big time earing AFOS so

I wonder about night splints.
