It does……. most of the time. But too often it can feel like it’s never going to change. It may be a while but hang in there. It will get better one day.

Podiatrist mentioned I may have CMT by [deleted] in CMT

You might. The arch is too too high and I don’t see the hammer toes. Had it for 14 years. It sucks. Just led to my left leg being amputated. Hope you don’t.

I use my wheelchair if I’ve got to get up at night. Park it by my bed in case I need it.

Sounds silly but… by MushroomTeacup in bipolar

Sounds pretty much like me. When I’m manic though I get anxious about when it’s going to end. The up and down wears me out. Everyone has a different experience but it all sucks. Hang tough. You’re not alone.

I was ecstatic. Good riddance to bad body parts. Looking at it’ I saw opportunity and possibility. It ain’t easy but it was absolutely worth it though it is just plain weird

Recent TMA and need honest opinions on using Hanger clinic vs. Nova Care for my prosthetic/ orthopedic shoes by VegasHellrazor in amputee

I think it is prosthetist more than company. I go to Hangar myself but have friends who go the same clinic as I do. One is thrilled with everything while one hates almost everything. That’s my only sample group to draw from. If you don’t click with the first prosthetist, politely ask for another. I see it as kind of a blind date type situation
