operation :-/

Hi, after 16 weeks of ponsetti treatment; back and forth between casting and bar n boots - I found out Wednesday that Lucy has to go for the operation to have her tendon cut. The consultant said he'd be in touch and to be honest didn't think too much of it. Today (Friday) got a call from his nurse to say to be at Children's ward on Monday for 8am to get her operation.

curved spine

Hiya, my lg (14 weeks) was born with congenital unilateral talipes (left) and is currently on her 3rd week of bar n boots. Recently myself, the HV and then the GP have noticed that Lucy hangs her head to the right side. HV reckoned that it was muscular damage but GP took a look and thinks her spine may be curved. She's had her hips scanned (at 6 weeks) so know they are unaffected by anything but just wanted to know if anyone was aware of any links between talipes and spinal issues. Thanks. Jen…See More
