You are so marvelous. Random notes:

I used leg braces after 2016 to manage my profound PN in my legs for 2-3 years. NO ONE ever suggested them, but the minute I tried on demonstration braces I was overjoyed. the braces were a fabulous kind of AFO (ankle foot orthotics).

My profound PN was first identified in 2010. I had been tripping, unable to hike, unable to participate in exercise classes because I couldn't balance. I did not know! A neurologist that I saw for headaches did some reflex tests and had me 'walk' in the hall. I had severe foot drop, EMG showed two of three nerves in my lower legs completely unresponsive. I had many tests to find the cause....none was found.

to be continued another time.

We are helping each other, truly.

Indeed, we are each others' support through our respective conditions and all the varied and different reactions each one of us experiences even with similar conditions, depending on our respective bodies and how they manifest the condition.

What were your Leg Braces? Brand? Style?
