Hiya,
I've been dealing w cmt for over 40 yrs and things have been rapidly progressing
Been doing afo"s for 30 yrs. I have afew questions first..do you know what type of cmt he has(there are 30 types they can test for. 2.what type of afo's does he wear? (rigid or (cant remember term) flexible at ankle..articulate(?)or kafo's. 3.Is it just his legs or are hands involved too? 4.Has he had any surgerys? 5. is he on any type of meds for cmt)6. is his pain afo related (poor fit)
Cmt is very complicated and no fun. Some cmters drink quinine(tonic water) to help w leg cramps.Epsom salt bath or foot soak can help too. There are meds that many take. Coffee helps for endurance lol
Guess I need more info re type of pain. What kind of work does he do?
Hope to hear back from ya
