Guest guest Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Hi, I'm new to this group. My 12 week old son has a left clubfoot. He completed the casting 1 1/2 weeks ago and started the brace. Ever since we've had problems. He would pull his foot out of the shoe constantly. We went back for a different brace (one where the bar comes off). Tried that for a couple of days and he was still pulling that left foot, sometimes both, out of the shoes. We were given a different brace. This one goes only on his left foot and around the left leg. It pulls the knee and leg like it was in his cast. Believe it or not he pulled his foot out of this shoe. Back again, and we were given a smaller shoe. We've tried this and he again pulled both feet out of the shoes repeatedly. I put the shoe on the single brace and he has kept it on better. Throughout all of this, he has been very unhappy. He cries all the time when he is not asleep. We have been through this for a week and a half now (nonstop crying with the brace). I'm wondering if maybe there could be some pain from the heel cord procedure or if anyone has any suggestions. I am desperate!! Thanks so much!!
