    Given the boot

    I was prescribed a boot to wear on my right foot for 4-6 weeks. I am physicaly disabled as is and have found it of more harm to me than of help. I wore the boot for a few hour on Friday and it put so much preasure on me that I was unable to walk on Sat.

    I went to see the Chiropractor today due to all the body pain I have been having and he strongly recomended that I do not wear the boot.

    Conflicted as I feel like when I try to help myself I end out harming myself more.

    Maybe the boot was not fitted properly?

    That can't be right. Can you talk to the doctor who prescribed it? I had to wear night boots for three months to kind of straighten out my gait because it was causing problems with my arch and heels. I was told to contact the specialist if it hurt. If it's throwing your body out of whack, there's something wrong.
