My 40 yr. old son has Charcot Marie tooth disease. His dr. recommended gastric recesssion triple orthrodesis surgery. I feel this is too intrusive. and I m afraid for him. I feel he needs another opinion. Can you suggest someone he could consult with?
thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Yes, charcot Marie tooth disease is a hereditary condition which usually progresses slowly and is treated based on the symptoms developed as there is no complete cure for it till date. I would advise you to consult a good orthopedic and get it evaluated. Physiotherapy may be required based on what condition it. Surgery may or maybe not require based on the foot deformity. Have a good nutritious diet with ascorbic acid also. Have a healthy life. If systemic conditions of diabetes is present, start the treatment for it. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards.
