momofumair; I feel for you and your son. I was born in 1954 and was casted. before casting the feet were massaged and twisted to be more correct, casting lasted three years. I have always had some problems but the casting was really not why. A lot of children seem to have had surgery of some kind. I believe casting is best. But all I know and read anyone with clubfoot will have some problems. Most are easily ingored. Not being severe. You can read what blogs I have written. My story if you like.
Good luck for your son and God Bless you both. Do keeps us informed please
Thanks for putting this community site together. I’m eager to contribute my story, but there’s trouble with your registration link. It produces a blank page.
The HTML source of the registration page cuts out in the header, before reaching the body. Your wp-signup.php is apparently hitting a snag and bombing out. Check your website error log file for details.
A quick look at some WP forums suggests that you may have an issue with your plug-ins (like BuddyPress) not being up-to-date. So you might want to look into that, or try disabling them altogether and see if that helps.
Best of luck at fixing your site so I can join the fun!
I want to put a convention together pls helppp a convention for everyone born with a clubfoot pls response and tell me what you think.
