Re: sores b/w toes in brace

September 22, 2005

what kind of sores? Are his toes clean when you put the shoes on or

is there toe jam in there? I only ask because this is new...

Also, there's the possibility of athlete's foot affecting him. Which

is why I ask what kind of sores they are. You may want to try wiping

his feet with witch hazel, and dusting his feet with athlete's foot

powder or cream (only use between the toes, not on the foot itself

especially if he's slipping)

Red is usually ok, as long as it doesn't get redder or it gets less

red when the shoes are off.

Do you have any pictures of his feet? That might help us figure out

what's going on. We have a picture list that we use to send pics to

the members here via email

Remember to check the email addy you subscribe under, there's a file

with a survey that needs to be filled out before your membership is

approved. Send that back and we'll get you subbed there as soon as

one of the moderators sees it.

they just appeared not too long ago. but they are just red and

round . they almost look like an open blister, but i never saw a

blister in the first place. his feet are clean and dry when we put

the brace on. i know this because we try to wash them or wipe them

down everytime we take the brace off to do his exercises becuase it

causes his feet to sweat and stink. i just talked to our nurse in

st.louis and we are going to see his doc.-Dr.Dobbs on monday so

hopefully they can get him straightened out and out of pain. thank

you very much for you help, and i will try to get some pictures out.
