Should I seek a 2nd opinion in central PA?

[Guest guest]

Hi, my name is and our daughter, Brynn is 3 months old with

club foot on her right foot. She was casted in Hershey, PA at 5 days

old by a nurse practioner (who trained with Dr. Ponseti) and when the

cast came off, she had a pressure sore the size of a nickel on the

inside of the top of her ankle. We waited 3 weeks for the sore to

heal and then resumed casting with cast #1, this time with one of the

surgeons. Brynn received 5 casts and then had a tenotomy 3 weeks

ago. She still had cavus when she received the tenotomy. Her post-

tenotomy cast was removed Tuesday still with cavus all the way across

her foot. We went into Markell boots and bars to see if it would

help the cavus with a return appointment 2 weeks later. By Thursday

(2 days later) Brynn was developing a pressure sore on her GOOD

heel. After calling the nurse practioner she said to come in and the

attending surgeon would look at it and we would cast the foot again.

The surgeon mentioned that Brynn may need another tenotomy down the

line since she may lose dorsiflexion as we correct the cavus. The

nurse said she would give us a prescription for the boots

since her skin is so sensitive.

As you can imagine, I'm frustrated with how " unsmoothly " things have

gone and I'm wondering if I need to get a second opinion. I think my

only option is the Schriners Hospital in Philadelpia. I know these

doctors have made feet straight because I see them in the waiting

room when I come! Any and all advice is helpful!
