I am interested in this condition because my son was born 27 years ago with severe club feet. He is now having major pain in both feet, along with arthritis in both, and we are not able to find a specialist that will help an adult still suffering with this condition.
Hi my name is Susan I have two sons both were born with club feet. My oldest born in 1976 was severe his feet were upside down when he was born and he had no calf muscle’s. The Doctor said he would never walk but I found a new doctor and he walked at 11 mts with casts on both feet. He had severe leg pins in his first 7 years and would wake up crying for hours on end. He is 31 years old now and has no pain to speak of his feet are straight but he had many surgerys and corrective shoes and casting until he was two to get there. My youngest had club feet but his were not as severe and he only required casts for 6mts then corrective shoes until two. There was not alot of infor back when they were born but crippled childrens and Shriners Hospital were wonderful and helped my sons with medical cost. I also was born with club foot only one and it turned out not in like my sons I alo had to have it casted until I was 6mts old. Still do not know what causes this but my grandchildren (I have 3) are all fine. If any one has question and is going through this now I would be happy to answer any questions.
Sincerely,
Susan

Hi! Older mom here with 3 year old boy with Club foot. Wanting to join with other parents, share stories, and shoes! LOL.
I joined mostly to learn more about how club foot affects people later in life
I need support ~sigh~ my daughter got her DB bar on Monday and it has been heck ever since. She won’t sleep, she is eating less an I am losing it at 36 hours with one hour of decent sleep. Does every baby that goes through this get this incredibly fussy? I can’t take it anymore. She’ll randomly start screaming and flailing her head all over and won’t calm down. I am seriously losing it.
My dd, who is now 5 months old, was born with two clubbed feet. We’ve gone through most of the casting and about to have a tenotomy.
Our daughter has club feet and we are interested in more information
For all the parents with babies that have clubfeet, these will help through the casting period BIG TIME! Believe me I know, so I wanted to share it with everyone especially since I have a very good coupon code for them.
Use these on your baby’s casts and with the denis browne bar.
I used them to:
-cover the ugly casts with something fun, cute and stylish
-protect the cast from getting soiled, with the casts being so dangerously close to the diaper lol
-protect myself from how scratchy icky the casts are.
-help me forget that my daughter had casts on
The coupon code is “BOGO” ebter it into the coupon code entry before checkout
Most of the leggings are $12 each but with this coupon code you can get two for the price of one plus $3 shipping. Stock up! I am. You can make as many individual purchases as you want. Its basically $12 off a purchase of $24 or more in case you’re looking at nore expensive pair. Try it, you won’t be disapointed
Hello everyone,
I am a member of the medical community as well as a mother of one child. My daughter was treated for clubfoot a week after birth. It affects only her right foot and is a milder form of the condition. I am currently developing a new prosthetic to treat the condition, mild to severe, bi-lateral or otherwise. This prosthetic would be used in place of the current bar and shoes. I would like to hear your feedback on the current treatment. Changes you would like to see, things you like and don’t like about the bar and shoes. Your information will be compiled on an anonymous basis for my research. Due to patents and laws of disclosure I cannot give any specifics about the new product at this time.
Thank you.
I just had a 29-week ultrasounds and learned that our baby girl’s right foot is club.
I am the proud mother of 2 beautiful boys. My oldest is now 2.5 years old, and was born with bilateral clubbed feet. He went through casting for approximately 2 months and then had a tenotomy performed. He currently wears a brace at night, but we are having a lot of difficulty with it. I need suggestions on how you all get your children to keep their brace on. He’s a big boy (53 pounds), and if we are unable to keep his shoes on him, he may need another surgery and not be able to walk for a couple of months. I am also a military wife, and I am concerned of how to take care of two young children by myself when he may not be able to walk.
