Hi Sandy,
I wear an AFO, a foot brace. I have a scooter as I'm no longer able to drive. I have a wheelchair that's manual, which I really don't like as it takes away my independence.
I first had symptoms with my foot 3 1/2 years ago, but have only had the footbrace since July last year, and gave up driving almost twelve months ago.
You know all the boring side I guess, we are all different blah blah whatever. I'm with you by the sounds of it, if I could have specific dates for when things stop working I would be so much happier. Even though I can walk, I just get so tired these days, and my back and hips hurt like crazy if I walk too far. And I end up in bed for a few days if I over do it.
There's no easy answer.
I can feel your frustration. Keep asking questions. Questions and answers help us all.
God bless, Janelle x
