Had a couple adjustments to my AFO brace today. Feels so much better now. I had a great discussion about possible replacements when it is time. The guy has 44 years experience, And works with world class athletes, and top shelf developers. He mentioned that he worked on my brace based off the initial diagnosis and prescription he was sent. But after talking with me 2 weeks ago and looking at my foot and ankle today, he gave me a few more things to discuss with my surgeon in two weeks. He was more specific which tendons I need to have looked at, especially the posterior Tibial tendon. He also suggested a different strategy of shopping for shoes, something I've been looking into already.
I bought some used cycling shoes to use indoor only. The right one is a perfect fit at size 47 for my right foot. But not the left, for my brace and foot. As a result, I bought them specifically to cut the toe box open...
