Hi Their,

I have been wearing the flat Clark's shoes. I sure miss my pumps.

I have to wear a brace on my rsd leg and foot because of the foot drop caused from the surgery that gave me rsd, so that is rough going. because of the rigidity of that brace i have to take the brace off several times a day but cannot walk without it. I use wide sneakers to help get around that swelling problem. I have to wear shoes with backs that hold on to the brace ... it is a problem. how I miss my slip on canvas shoes! and my dr. schols wooden sandals. it was so hard to give those away. joan

Mum spent about $120 on a really soft pair of shoes that were similar to baby bootees for me - but haven't managed to desense into them (1 year on from getting them).

Shame the crocs are spiky.. hope the swelling eases up soon. I used to have a sheet of paper on my bedroom wall where we recorded how the swelling was - measured big toe, foot, ankle, calf, knee, thigh, finger, thumb, wrist, elbow. It is really pleasing to look at the chart when you have a good period with the swelling and look back at how it's improved. Also, it's useful for drs to see the fluctuations in the condition.

Frogga, I got black crocs. They are HUGE! I cannot say I am too fond of them... I told my physical therapist that my foot was two times it's normal size, and he said that he thinks my shoe is two times it's normal size. Hey, it's the best I could find for now!

I have had to wear the crocs the past few days, as my one foot is swelling pretty badly. Overnight the swelling will go down a teeny bit, but then after walking on it the swelling comes right back and sometimes worse.

That sounds like a good idea with measuring the swelling. Thanks for telling me about it!!

Hope you well.
