Hello to Barry52 >>>>

So sorry to hear of your latest "Private" consultation, with a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon !

Once I have "calmed-down", I will certainly respond to you in full :

However, the last time I checked this is 2015, and there is certainly many, and various surgical options that are available to you :

Mind you, I have noticed that over the last 2/3 years, many Doctors are now "hiding-behind", the diagnosis of your Cmt, and Type ? ? ?

"Ah well you see" you have already been diagnosed with Cmt Disease, which is a Neurological Disease, "and as well you know, that there is no current cure for Cmt, so off you go and manage, and accept your current disability" :

By the way, see my secretary on the way out, as they will be happy to collect my professional fee of £ ???.00, thank you so very much, and have a "nice-day" ! ! !

Absolutely 100% spot on,I have done everything I can, I just want to carry on working but the odds are now stacked against me.....surely in 2015 something can be done if a man with no legs can go running around a track in SA then it boils down to one thing MONEY

Barry i have had severe problems with CMT but managed to work until my last op 18 months ago when unfortunately i contracvted MRSA and to be honest that floored me more than the CMT ever did

What if any braces do you use

[kitbo21]

Not sure of the name of them? But yes I wear braces I have to.. Is there anyway we can send pictures on this? X

I was going to write to Oscar Pistorius and ask to borrow his left leg while he is in prison
