Yes, that's true. I have been lucky with orthotics, but others haven't. It's too bad that we can't always have the best-case scenario: a skilled podiatrist or cped who knows how to cast, and prescribe, and construct orthotics that are absolutely right for the individual. But it seems we don't.
Yes, Tammie's story is the worst, and the saddest. I always have her in mind when people in Christy's situation post. It worries me terribly. Those of us who have been around for several years have built up a multilayered picture of the "feet scene" which people new to the boards don't have the advantage of. I too hope Christy waits, does her research, and makes a good decision.
But you know, the thing that worried me more than anything else in this case is that the doctor did NOT seem to know about the possibility of a bad result. 'Snip and go", as you've often put it: that's how he looked at it. And then snip and go again, in a couple of weeks. And then all is well, back to weight-bearing and normal activities, fully cured forever.
I wish!
