Lizzy's Story
i have club feetI was born with my right foot clubbed. To begin with i had treatment using casts only to try to reposition it, but eventually i needed surgery. I had four surgeries before I was four years old. A few years ago i started getting horrible pain in my foot, which turned out to be my foot leaning badly inwards. I had my fifth opperation two years ago just before i turned 16, which was a tripple athrodesis. I had a fantastic surgeon that i have had since birth, and my foor has been fine since.
When buying shoes i usually have to get two different sizes, a 6 and a 4. My club foot leg is considerably shorter which has left me with curvature of the spine.
What i would love is to be able to wear some really high heels!! but they tell me with some excercise, i should be able to improve movement, so i'm staying positive.
