My problem is not caused from walking. I can neither walk or stand at all.
Additionally, I have no sensation at all. So I never know when I am putting to
much pressure on a particular place whether it's my foot or my butt. I do
stretch my Achilles but I can only do it by using my hands to pull my toes back
toward my knees while sitting in the bed. I have custom designed inserts for my
shoes to cushion my feet and relieve pressure. I also have padding on my
wheelchair foot rest. This is why I am very inclined to have this surgery so I
can relieve the balls of my feet from getting so much pressure. So if anyone
has had this specific surgery I would like to hear from you.........Cody in

But I solved all such problems by simply wearing a good pair of cowboy boots
with a "riding" heel. That is a taller heel that is underslung to make walking
with a tall heel no problem. I have drop-foot and now do not braces or
anything.

My foot doctor has recommended that I have surgery to lengthen my Achilles
tendon by cutting a few strands of the tendon. Simple same day surgical
procedure. My feet tend to point downward (Peter Pan feet) which puts pressure
on the balls of my feet resulting in pressure sores. Has anyone else had this
procedure (Percutaneous tendo-Achilles lengthening)? I am interested in hearing
your thoughts pros or cons........Cody in Austin
