It is what it is.  I have been dealing with issues in my leg, ankles and feet since I was a child.  I had surgery to fix a birth defect in my right leg at age 11 and spent the full summer in a body cast from my toes up to my chest (That was a real miserable summer) and had my first orthopedic inserts back in 2003.  In the back of my mind I wonder how much the birth defect has contributed to my other issues.

You will see first-hand on May 20th if things are better or not.  That would be about a month with the new braces so hopefully they work and any residual pain has subsided by then.

Worst case, I do the surgery sometime in the future...over a winter of course!

I am hoping to see the Bionic Golfer post a personal best.

Will not be bionic, not even close.

Picked up the braces yesterday, I knew my motion would be limited but they are much more limiting than I expected.  

Absolutely no motion in any direction.  I can’t even move the ankle & foot enough to push/release the gas & brake peddle on a car.

In talking to the guy that fitted them we decided I will also get some less restrictive inserts to use on the course.  They will not alleviate all of the issues but he thinks they may enable me to get through a round.

Then use the full brace when not driving a car and not on the course and hopefully keep the pain to a minimum.

I am also going shopping today. Need to find some extra-wide shoes that will fit the brace.  Hopefully I do not need Double-extra-wide as those can be limited on choice, even on-line.

Hope that works. I found some Keen waterproof hiker shoes in EEE that have decent (course friendly) traction to work with me after my surgery. Don't know if that could be of help.
