Yesterday I went to see the podatrist. I learned the the foot brace I was orginally given at the doctors office was not the one I need. The one they gave me has no bend and I cant wear it outside.... or even from the bedroom to the bathroom. Due to this error, In a few weeks time I have to go back to the podatrist to reevaluate the progress on my drop foot and if it is still medically necessary, they will be giving me a brace that bends at the ankle that I can wear outside.
