My name is Natalie and my 4 month old daughter has PFFD, it's about a 3 inch difference and her feet aren't the same size either. I've been denied SSI benifits once and I am appealing it. I was told that my options were lengthing, amputation, are the lift (to me if her leg only will come mid-way her calf of her good leg, if that). I would think that would be a very high and dangerous lift. I was wondering if anyone else was having or have had this problem with getting SSI. I would really like to speak with someone with experience in this matter and someone for some kind of guidence for the future. please respond either by email allyours_04@hotmail.com or by finding me on face book Natalie McCall in Mobile Alabama. Thank you.
Lift
I am a 52 year old female with bi¬lateral PFFD. I never had any surgeries to correct the length difference so I walk with a brace with an adjustable lift which brace guys call a skate. It adjust so I can wear different heal heights on my shoes. I have never had any difficulties with the lift I just have to make sure the sole is tough and doesn’t leave marks on my floors. If I can be of any assistance please feel free to contact me.
