"I spent six and a half weeks in two leg casts and found it to be amazingly helpfully. I have hardly any pain anymore."

"I had ultrasound too-forgot that! And once I was through with PT which didn't help, as a last ditch effort, I went to a pain rehab MD where I did 6 sessions of acupuncture, after which he said, although I was okayed for 10 sessions, that it…"

"My pt had me dO the balance board and the marbles too. She also did some acupuncture and ultra sonic wave therapy. "

"When I went to PT for my feet, I did all sorts of things, including a balance board to stretch them, iontopheresis, some other exercises, and the best part was having my foot massaged. I also did an exercise where I had to spend 3 minutes each foot…"

"First day of pt yesterday.  I felt pretty good after the session but I am a bit sore today. "

"I have had pf for over two years as well and just finished a bilateral cast treatment that lasted six weeks yesterday. My feet feel 100% better. I spend 8-10 hours a day on my feet on concrete floor (cabinet maker).   I have rubber mats laid…"

"Well, I returned the night splints without too much difficulty and they sized me up for a pair of the Bledsoe pf splints. They are huge and very expensive.  "

"Last night was the first night with the splints. They are awfull!!! Uncomfortable hard plastic shells with thin foam liners. I woke up at one point and both my feet were asleep. I am going to return them to the store I purchased them at and order a…"

"I had far less trouble sleeping in my 1 cast than I did sleeping with the night splint. And now, thankfully, I can sleep without having to take prescription pain medication before going to bed-and my feet would still hurt using it, barely less. Good…"

"Yeah I hope this set of splints is better than the last set I had. They were very uncomfortable in fact I found the casts easier to sleep in than the old splints. "

"I bet you had a long shower. It was hard enough having the cast for 11 days (for me) let alone how long you had yours on for. I have a night splint sitting in my closet. I tolerated it for 2 weeks, switching off feet, but couldn't stand it. It…"

"I had the casts removed this morning at nine went home and had a longggggggg shower. It's going to take a while to get use to walking without the casts but it's better than walking with them on.  I have my first pt appointment Monday…"

"I hope things went well today! I had PT for my feet too."
