a moment of breaking down. Need some proof. (Depressing)

[Guest guest]

Hello dear parents. I'm writing her rarely so I'll introduce my

self. Oshri, my son, is two years old. He was born with BL clubfeet

and treated according to the Ponseti method.

Oshri doesn't sleep very well. He sleeps O.k when we take the shows

off. He has X legs (meaning his knees are close to each other while

his feet are apart). Although the orthopedic Dr said that it is very

normal for his age, I'm afraid that the shows will make the X worse

or won't let it change.

Sometimes I can't think about putting these shoes any longer. Lately-

last couple of month - he cries at night that they hurt him. The

shoes are in fine size. I lengthen the bar. The thing is that he is

very uncomfortable. I can put the shoes only when he already sleeps

and if he wakes up In the middle of the night I take them off. We

thought of the sandals but to have them brought to Israel

is so expensive- we use the now. And I really think it is

not the shoes but the position that he can't stand any longer. I

just can't stand his cries about the pain. Even taking him to our

bed doesn't help.

I want to ask if anyone knows about a resent research about

relapsing or pain in older ages, meaning 16 and above. I have this

bad feeling of pain in age 30, 40… I don't know how to make Oshri

take care of his back and body all the time when he grows to try and

prevent pain. Lately I have this Clubfeet as a very cloud over my

head. It is very hard for me that no one can promise good result for

life. I mean I hope we can continue with the shows until the age of

4 but what's next? Being afraid of adolescence when the feet is

chancing again? Or from pain in the foot at older age…

Well, as you can read I'm pretty depressed now. Most times I'm

trying to cheer pregnant women and parents, but at this time I feel

like I have no cheering words to offer.

Thank you for reading
