Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 why 55 then? It just makes me think you'll be back at the doc soon asking why your son's foot is turning in. Are you for sure happy with this doc? Not a whole lot sounds right here... especially since he's so unhappy. An uncorrected foot... even at 55 degrees can be terribly painful in the FAB.
