julie diamond's Story
i have club feetI was born with both feet folded inside my leg (clubbed) it looked as tho i had no feet.I have have had several surgery's involving shortening the achillies,moving one heel over,stapling of the growth plates and have had no problems for years untill two years ago my knees were really sore and xrays revealed that i had severe arthritis in one knee and both bones in the front of my leg were bowed as they left the growth plate staples in too long.I have had a knee replacement and the other knee is deteriating as well.They dont know how long the replacement will last due to the unusual bowed bone.I am not able to get any help from acc as they say its congenital even tho my doctor has said it is an unusual side effect from the surgery i had.
Has anyone else had these problems later in life,i wonder what the long term outcome will be for me.
