What are the signs of RELAPSE?

[Guest guest]

With Lilee being out of the P/M brace now for 5 days, I am starting to get REAL

paranoid! She is supposed to get her newly designed P/M tomorrow afternoon. Her

sore/blister is not fully healed, but is looking much better. I will still

continue to pad it while trying out these new P/M's. With me being paranoid, I

was wondering if someone could tell me the signs of relapse, and/or their own

expierence with what they saw in their child. I think she is Ok, but sometimes

her foot seems a little stiff when I am doing the Dobbs stretches with the

dorsoflexion. After doing it a few times, you can feel the tendon give in and

stretch, then she is nice and flexible for a bit. I do them mostly when she is

asleep so she wont fight me. Or atleast not much...lol...Thanks all

Christee,

With Karter we always notice the tighting of the dorsoflexion first, but you

have to make sure that she isn't fighting you. Karter will purposly flex so we

can not stretch it. Then with the other Dr. We also had turning in of the

foot. Karter was out of shoes for over a week when we went to the P/M's.

(thinking this might be why one of his feet feel tight) You will be able to

tell if you can not stretch it when you get the new shoes. I would assume that

the foot would not go into the shoes properly if you have a relapse.

Hope some of this helps. Sorry you are still having problems. I have been

thinking and I just can not come up with anything.
