Information on Club Feet in Black and White

Doug Blubaugh's Story

i have club feet
I am 42 yrs old. I was born with bilateral club feet. My parents did everything they could to help make my life as normal as possible. Through countless operations and procedures, my legs turned out as normal as possible.
I played sports and did other outdoors activites.
when i was younger, i really didn't mind wearing shorts, but as I got older i was really self-conscious.
My wife of 16 yrs has been supportive. Now over the last couple of years some problems have popped-up.
One ankle has become arthretic, and now i walk with a limp. And i've had tissue breakdown where the scars are on the inside of my ankle. I'm being treated for this right now. One ankle has healed, but now the other has ulcered. its a long process, but i'm confident it will heal. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. btw, i had blood work done and its not apart of any diabetes, or any other thing.
