Hi e,

Sorry to hear about all the problems with your brace. We're living in the NE

of Italy but went to the states for the treatments and now our son is 2yrs

7mtns. We didn't start until late in the day as we couldn't find a doctor

locally.

I'm originally from the UK and did consider trying to get a private

appointment there. I don't know if this is possible or feasible- maybe some

of the UK people could help you with that. But it seems like a second

opinion would put your mind at rest.

Since I was in two systems I was able to use the US system and go there.

However the doctors hereI currently use has no experience other than the

casting part in residency so is learning by looking in the red booklet-

which I can't lay my hands on right now but is avaliable online. I go for my

checkups with him. I also send digital pictures to our original doctor in

the US to check. Ridley is doing well.

I hope things work out better for you- don't give up.

Melitsa and Ridley.

Little miracles happen everyday.

Hello everybody,

I am e from Italy, father of Alessandro (almost 4

months) with congenital bilateral clubfoot. I recently

joined this list as my baby is being treated according

to Ponseti method but, as almost everyone, I am

experiencing problems with the DDB.
