| I was born with bilateral club feet as well. I was casted after birth, and had my first surgery when I was 7. Now since 2004 to date I have had over four surgeries, including a triple orthodisis on both feet, a tenden tightening, repair, and a scope done to clean out cartilage that is flaking away in my foot. I am in extream pain. I have extreme pain everytime I try and stand up. I have two small kids and sometimes it is very hard to do things. I can't chase them around the yard, I can't help them learn to ride their bikes, and I can't kick a ball back to them....Do you have any sergical advice that may help? Or any suggestions for the pain....Thanks Heather |
