If you haven't checked there yet, there are a few threads about it on the Medical Devices forum, although there may be some on General, too. Here's a link:

Hope you see this message before your thread gets moved there and I hope you find the information you're looking for.
Dx'd with MS & HNPP (hereditary peripheral neuropathy) 7/03 but must have had MS for 30 yrs before that. I've never taken meds for MS except 1 yr experiment on LDN. (I found diet, exercise, sleep, humor, music help me the most.)

Hi there,
Newly dx, but have had to use walk aids. It may seem odd, but I started wearing Reebok "EasyTone" shoes. They forced me to lift my feet higher to walk--and I had to think about it and be more conscious of my walk. They helped. Also, if I started to trip--they would scuff or squeek, so I knew I had to stiop and get my balance. I now wear Hinged knee braces on both legs for strength and have regular phys. therapy. Hope it helps.

Thank you Muskan.
Civickiller, I start P.T. this week. My Dr. recommended it after my venoplasty. Did you have the procedure?
