Ok so I was born with club foot and it was treated in my first year. Now I have been active for 22 years even joining the Marine Corps and have not had any real problems..however in the last year or so I have noticed a serious muscular imbalance in my legs and come to think of it crappy balance on the side where the affected foot is. I have a lot of issues when performing olympic lifts because my bad foot won't stay flat on the ground...anybody have a similar issue?
as well i did umm i had club foot all my life iwas born with it i had multiple surgerys it is now better i can run climb jump and do everything they told me i would NEVER be able to do but i looked passed it my toes still crook sideways to but they're not all bent like tht but they were when i was born but they're better now but when i run it kinda turns and i run weird lol but i think its a miracle how well im doing on my age
I was born with club feet, 16 years ago in Lviv Ukraine. Unfortunately i have only received partial surgery for my feet and they are still a bit abnormally bent. it doesnt affect me a lot but since i play soccer, my feet tend to wiggle, especially my left one. I'm still grateful that I can walk like everyone else.
my son will be 3 next month and was born with bilateral club feet. He went through serial casting when he was 2 weeks old, surgery following, casting and surgery a year later and all the while he wears the mitchell brace. in december he will go through another casting and surgery, this time a muscle tranfer but only on his left leg. his doctor said his right leg looks like a "normal foot", has anyone had the muscle transfer or know any details about it???
i was born with it too! and got surgery the first year of my life i take part in ballet and have been in professional plays like nutcraker and romeo and juliet for ballet! i just wobble a little when i walk but the doctors had to cut my tendon! finally i have something to relate to with my problem and am lucky everybody understands! please reply!
I had surgery for it when I was an infant as well. That's wonderful that you're in ballet! I'm a theatre kid and I can't really do ballet... but I don't blame my foot for my inability to dance as much as my lack of natural coordination xD
i have club foot and got surgery in the first year of my life too. everything is fine now apart from limited movement in my feet and a slight wobble when i walk and now take part in snowboarding and rock climbing and many other sports but what i would really like to know is that is this a genetic ? and if so what are the chances of passing it on to any potential kids.
My dad had clubbed feet. There was no treatment in those days. Strangely i learnt the eve of my fathers death while searching the internet not realising he was ill that club feet seems to be caused by lack of room in the womb and therefore responds well to straightening procedures before the bones have grown. I tried to get my dad to seek out modern help but he totally refused to believe he could be helped. Very late in life he did find a man to finally make him a pair of shoes that fitted:(
Wow, I had surgery in the first year of life...Does that make me weird? Obviously besides the original clubfoot weirdness...
I'm a lil confused...various doctors have since offered MORE surgery, yet the video says that surgery isn't really necessary at all. I guess it's just severity right?
I have club feet severaly in both feet. I had it treated but it didn't go to well and I still get excruciating pain in my feet when I put any weight on them. I've been offered an operation to fuse the bones together, but I would need walking sticks to get around.
I can walk but it is incredibly painful. I was offered that but I decided against it as the doctor couldn't actually offer me any real guarentees that it would help.
I was born with Club Foot. I haven't thought about before now, that is really a handicap! Thanks to the surgians who treated me, and unlimited of help from my parents, I have a minimal problems with them. My parents stretched my feet every day and night just so that the feet will keep in the wanted condision. I am so grateful!

Sorry if this is a weird question but how do you walk now then? At all, or just in pain?
I was told I could have my ankles fused but I'm still weighing up the pro's and con's. Is this anything like what you were offered?

Thanks, sorry if that was kinda nosy =[ I was just told that it wouldn't really make things better, which is a little silly IMO =]
