Guest guest Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Hi everyone, Does anyone feel atrophy in their feet? Not legs but feet from wearing AFOs? I wear only one and now my left foot feels really 'dead " . Like it just hangs there when I am walking around the house with no AFO on? Know what I mean? Before I even knew what an AFO was I used to walk my neighborhood 30 -40 minutes. Oh sure trip over my drop foot, but now it is like so weak. And the AFO certainly does not prevent falling and my balance is gone. It surely affects my left hand and thumb, and I call that my dead thumb cause it can't hold anything thick. It has affected my pennmenship also and I am a lefty, LOL, and my job is to sign my name on vital records every day. Thanks for reading this and it is really cold here in Forida this week, 25-35 at night and 40-50 in the day. burr for the Sunshine state.
