My patient with Charcot-Marie-Tooth, post–foot surgery, was experiencing discomfort. I provided education on how feet change after surgery and with age. Upon assessing her footwear and orthotics, I found her orthotics were too narrow on one side and her shoe toe box was not accommodating her toes properly. She had been told she was already in the widest shoe available, but a second opinion confirmed otherwise, and she has since ordered a more appropriate wider shoe.
Happy when I can help patients identify the root causes of their foot and toe issues. Grateful that they trust me enough to follow my suggestions.
