Just new and need direction
 

Good Morning everyone: I just joined and I really need some direction in my healthcare choices. First, I have foot drop and as yet have gotten no help for the condition. I have a molded brace but have not been able to use it yet. as I had no one to work with me. I want to get therapy but if I will not get therapy with the brace I feet what is the use.

Has anyone here had this problem and have you gone to therapy and been evaluated with your brace the first day????? I do not want to go to therapy for the first time and then hear, "Lets talk about your problem". I just had 3 and a half years of talking and no walking. I know that everyone here has a story and I want to hear what others are saying.

Please let me know what others have experienced in therapy and what could I expect as far as using my brace

Thank You so much for your attention and wait to hear back.

I understand your frustration and hope someone will share some helpful insights with you.

You can also use the search engine here on the site to find info on MAFO braces.
