I know that Walmart does have an ankle brace, like the very tight-fitting gloves for the hands. It's black, but I do not think it would look good with any shoes. I was useing it to help with the drop foot, while walking bare footed around the house. It does help with supporting the drop foot. Now I'm using the Walk Aide, so don't it use as much.

After I had my initial acute attack of TM - it was about 3 years later when I started to get 'hand-cramps', when the fleshy-part of the hand between the thumb and fore-finger starts to pull my fingers into all sorts of weird shapes!...lol. I found a pair of very tight-fitting gloves in my local physiotherapy-clinic, which were designed for 'carpal-tunnel' sufferers but they do a fantastic job to ease the cramping and lately, they have become 2 of my very closest friends.

When put my shoes on, my right foot (heel) spasms and makes it harder to walk. Have any of you had this problem? Really looking forward to summer to wear sandals – don’t think there will be a problem then. Is strange that after all these years that this problem would show up.
