newborn curved foot

Re: newborn curved foot

yes one of them is a doctor . i had listened to the dt carefully, thats ehy i removed her plaster. it was doctors advice to remove the plaster in case of any discomfort .. she was screaming n crying icontineously .. now i myself will take her to the doctor and will start her treatment. everyone is angry at me but my husband is not allowing me for plaster i am forced n strucked .. my situation is like crying .. how can i make him understand that plaster is a painless treatment for her foot .

Re: newborn curved foot

That is a really touch spot to be in. Can your in laws or parents help in this regard? You really need to treat this matter with urgency. Poinseti is done in first few weeks of life and you have wasted so much Time. Your husband needs to realise that doing nothing will leave your child with life long deformity. You are burdening your child needlessly. You will know better than anyone else living in Pakistan how badly disabled people are treated/ why would you let your child go through

Re: newborn curved foot

Also you keep coming up with reasons to delay treatment. Just get on with it.

Re: newborn curved foot

you are still thinking about and wondering about what to do? :hayaa:

your husband wont give you the money? … well i guess that’s why i am an advocate for women getting themselves educated and employed so this helpless dependency goes away … short term solution: perhaps you can ask your parents for help? long term: get a job lady and teach your daughter to be emotionally and financially independent.

think of it this way … if you dont get the correct treatment now … then in 3-4 yrs you will be here writing a thread bout how your daughter is depressed/crying because she cant run/play with friends, and then about how school kids are mean to her and then 20-22 yrs from now you will be writing about her not getting rishtas or being rejected because of her foot. is that what you/your husband want?

Re: newborn curved foot

yes you all are right and i m educated i cant go for job because my husband won't allow me for any job.. mu father has passed away my mother can't afford her plaster charges but she will suport me .. again my husband doesn't allow me for any help from my family. he had stopped me from doing anything , what should i do now ?? finally he is agreed for plaster but dr is waiting for her cold issue , i am regularly going for nebolise

Re: newborn curved foot

I am sorry I don't know what else to say.

Re: newborn curved foot

Saniya,

Your daughter's health should come first for you. Getting her the best treatment possible at the time she needs should be your primary concern - nothing else.

Re: newborn curved foot

dr has adviced us k surgery hogi .. plz pray for my baby ...

Re: newborn curved foot

Hugs and prayers!

Re: newborn curved foot

I think your husband is listening a bit to much to his friends and he is confused that is why he is changing decisions so often.

Discus it with your MIL , may be she can persuade him further (atleast now he has agreed for the plaster)

If money is issue there are so many hospitals in Pakistan giving free treatment. If you want I can PM you names of some of those.

But for now like everyone has said get her the best possible treatment without any further delay.

Massage some olive oil on her chest it will give her warmth and I don't know what has plaster of her foot got to do with cold ?

Re: newborn curved foot

The only way I see you can force your husband is by stating the age old saying "yeh larki zaat hai kuch sochain aur iska elaaj karwaye"

Re: newborn curved foot

hmmmm, dr has given us date for her surgery after 2 weeks .. how long will it take ? dr syed shahid noor is a good ortho but he doesnt give much time , i had many questions to ask but he was in hurry n saying jb treatment start kren gy tb ye sub discuss hojae ga

Re: newborn curved foot

Usually surgery comes later during the treatment process for severe clubfoot.

Why are they going for surgery right off the bat?

Re: newborn curved foot

IA, everything will be fine. I used to live in Karachi too and had major surgeries there and those too at good but not hifi expensive hospitals like Agha Khan still the outcomes were very good Alhumdulillah. Even here in USA they told me, whoever did your surgery did an excellent job. So it's not like doctors in Pakistan are not good. You have consulted another doctor and thank God your husband has also agreed. Keep us updated. Prayers for you and your daughter.

Re: newborn curved foot

She is under treatment send love and prayers for her... She was all disturbed I couldn't sleep , Dr told me that he will decide it after 4 casts about surgery weather they will do it or not ... She could not move her leg

Re: newborn curved foot

So she's in the casting process right now? How many have you done so far?

Clubfoot is easily treatable now without surgery.

This is a bit personal but my son was also born with club foot...he's on his 4th cast and doing great. Yes, they cry initially when you put it on but the crying subsides after the first day. We will probably do another 2 or 3 and then get him special shoes to wear at night so that it doesn't return.

I hope your daughter is doing okay...try not to let your husband's friends influence you two...stick to what the docs are telling you to do.

Re: newborn curved foot

May Allah swt make the process easy on your daughter as well as on you, ameen!
Same for you Reha!

Re: newborn curved foot

2nd ... Let's see what happens,she is much better ..

Re: newborn curved foot

Much prayers and love for your daughter. I am happy your husband has listened to the advice of doctors!

Re: newborn curved foot

Thank you!!! Ameen!
