My ES got a splint yesterday ... he's a determined tiptoe walker and sees the physio quite regularly but the muscles in his right calf particularly have got really tight. I'm really hoping it makes a difference ... at the moment he's only wearing it for short periods of time but the aim is that he'll be able to wear it over night.
He's really enthusiastic about wearing it so far ... I think it's cos he knows he can play his DS while he's sitting still!
I know it's silly but I got really upset about the splint at first but now that he's got it I'm fine ... just one of my "wobbles"!
