If you've seen me recently and I've been brace free, it's not because I'm miraculously getting better. I actually had my custom made AFOS (ankle and foot braces) break on me for a 2nd time. I was checking the damage in the basement after a recent well and septic system issue and the screw flew right out of my brace. I was finally able to get it repaired. Both of them were tuned up, tightened and got new padding inside. I'm happy to have "my feet" back. That's what I call my braces. Hopefully wearing them again daily will alleviate some of my SI and back pain. I definitely haven't recovered from my recent falls either. Back to braced and grateful!
