I’m glad to hear cause I’m very nervous about the blocks. I’m hoping they work.
I’ve had the foot drop since 6 weeks after the ankle injury. Kept on getting sent back and forth to drs cause even now they think it’s a mechanical issue with my foot. I truly believe it’s the RSD/CRPS.
What brace have you found works the best? When I where tall boots (like riding boots) I can’t actually walk with a slight limp. But without that boot I can barely walk. Trying to figure out my options for summer. Shoes and braces. This is a WC case so the waiting for the brace is also my issue. My pain management dr said the braces may be uncomfortable for me too.

I recently used a boot like the one on this website;

I had my laptop fall off the arm of my chair and scored a direct hit with a corner right on the midpoint of my left foot. i used the boot for 7 months as the swelling and pain also from CRPS made getting into a regular sneaker impossible. It kind of rolled when I took a step which helped with pain. I now have wide Hoka sneakers that have a soft top which allows for swelling. Helps a very wee bit with the CRPS pain on bottom of foot. It's so much fun experimenting! Tried a medical store for sneakers. They were very old looking and had
velcro closures instead of laces. After several tries there, I went back to Fleet Feet. The funny thing the prices were about the same but the quality and appearance was vastly different. Hope you find something that will work for you.
I also have a Workers Comp case and am waiting for approval to have two low back RFAs. Supposedly they are suppose to respond within 30 days. Have a good weekend.
