I'm new to all of this and need help!

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I have a few questions....our daughter just received her DBB this

past Wednesday and has not been a very happy camper! She is

developing pressure areas on her non-club foot on both sides of her

ankle and the ball of her foot. We have tried changing the type of

socks, using moleskin and blister bandaids and it doesn't seem to

really make any difference. I'm probably a little paranoid because

our daughter was not casted properly by the first doctor and ended up

with a pressure sore from the cast that developed into cellulits and

she had to hospitalized and on IV anti-biotics! And I don't want to

go down that road again!

Thanks to your site we found out about the s shoes and have

been doing some research. The brace room " guy " associated with our

doctor said that the s are more of an " ankle treatment " and

he wasn't sure about the long-term success rate for cf. However, I

haven't seen that mentioned in any of your wonderfully enlightening

emails! HELP!!! We want to do what is best for our daughter but we

also hate to see her so unhappy and uncomfortable!

Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

laura
