Information on ClubFeet in Black and White

anita sheehy's Story

I have 4 children jack my youngest is nearly 5 he was born with two clubfeet, the left is very tight and even after surgery the improvement was not great.

I live in redditch and find the help and treatment jack gets is very little, Jack will have to have more surgery and a llizarov frame fitted.

I think at this present time i feel upset, and very angry as if no one really cares jack gets leg spasms and cries in pain because his toes curl, and go rigid.

Jack now is aware of his little left foot and the size difference between them both .

I have at this time given up hope i go shopping for shoes for jack, as i have to wait several months for a shoe fitting, and by the time i get his boots they are tight. now i have just been told i will have to go to another hospital for shoe fittings as the hospital can not afford to provide this service. im now even making jacks insoles out of toilet roll i give up .
