BTW Kitt, I cannot walk on my heals, but I can walk on my toes...Does CMT effect the Achilles tendon? My foot doctor wanted to cut both of them and make them longer, I ran from the office... (well hobbled) So, the effected areas are: Toes, arches, heels, ankles, calves, knees, hips, lower back, middle back, upper back, neck, and shoulders, elbows, wrists, and fingers. The neuropathy is effecting: feet, ankles, calves, hands, arms, shoulders, back, neck and head... Besides that I am fine.
