i heard a lecture at a podiatry meeting given by a dr. david gitlin about rerouting tendons and muscles to correct this problem might be something to look at? the doctor showed some very impressive results.

thanks so much salliemeter - went to see Dr. Gitlin about 2 months ago. his office was on 92st and park ave. was kinda hard to find him but glad i did. dropfoot diagnosed after an acupuncture needle hit a nerve 10 years ago. just got bACK into regular shoes this week. he did a tendon transfer from muscles in bottom of my foot and moved then to top of foot. now walking a million times better even barefoot. i left my brace at him office (dont need it anymore) ill post his number if thats OK. 212-372-0991 thats his manhattan office. very thankful. he gave me his cell number and i was able to contact him at any time if i had a concern. also came to hy house for the first visit after surgery when i didnt have anyone to take me to the office.
great! thank you

thank you for above advice. just saw doctor gitlin in his queens office. having tendon transfers in 2 weeks. finally some hope been living with dropfot since 1994, braces have been causing the skin to rub away around my ankles and not one doctor ive seen in the past 10 years said that there was anything that could be done.
