I recently started to use Dyna Splints myself. Has anyone else used them?

I was told to try Dyna splits but my carrier would not approve it. Besides the way it looked, a lot of metal, I was afraid I would break something during the night when I had my spasms. The rooke boot has a lots of packing and two straps coming from the toe that you can Velcro to the sides. The only problem is that it put a lot of pressure on the ball on my feet where I had sores. If I go through with the surgery they said that it would be four weeks before I could get it wet. They did not say that I would have to stay in bed but I would have to wear splints all the time, night and day. Louisiana Disability Alliance, NSCIA P.O.
