Default Braces Update GOOD NEWS

Dearest NeuroTalk Friends,

As you know I have profound PN. Last month I got the new braces, which immediately helped me to walk comfortably again.

A month later, and I also see measurable IMPROVEMENT in my ability to walk without the braces.

The braces are allowing me to walk more normally, which is strengthening the muscles which were seriously atrophied.

I have physical therapy twice a week to improve the strength of my core muscles and to loosen the parts of my legs and thighs and hips which have become tightened as a result of the unusual stress caused by the gait I was forced to adopt by my PN.

I cannot believe that I am IMPROVING after all these years of going from bad to worse to unbelievably bad.

Profound PN is a nightmare, but I am waking up!

Just wanted to share my good news.

Hugs, ElaineD
