Hi thanks for you comment. My son only had 1 surgery so far.By the looks of it now i dont think he will need another 1 anytime soon. His feet are fine they look grand. He is 1 now not walking yet but flys around his walker and climbs around everything. His feet dont turn up anymoor. was you foot still the same when you where 20 could you play any sports when you were younger or was it just to sore for you.

I was born with sever bilateral clubfeet(both feet). I had surgeries from the time I was 8 weeks old until I was 2 years old. Then I had one more surgry on my right foot when I was 20 years old. I am now 30 years old and I have severe pain. I have had this pain as far back as I can remember at 6 years old. Your son may have pain or not when he gets older. From what I have read of your story, you are doing what is best for your son and that does make a difference.
