My common new AFO

Yes MS has caused my foot drop, yesterday I received my AFO and I'm waiting for some comfortable shoes (Billy shoes) to be able to use it.

In a couple of weeks I will be starting treatment with botox and I hope to receive the order for Physical Therapy, we will see how it goes with all that.

Best of luck with your AFO, MScosquiyitas I have an AFO and it has done wonders for me. I hope that it does the same for you. :-D

What type of AFO do you have?

I have an AFO that was molded to my leg. It attaches with Velcro, and I can wear it with my shoe. I hope that this makes sense, MScosquiyitas :-D

Let us know how the Botox works please. You will find a difference with the AFO but break your self in gently, until you get used to wearing it your leg muscles will strain a bit. Blessings Jimeka 😊
