A member asked:
I tore a ligament about a month ago and have been in a cam boot but my other foot has become sore cramped and twitchy what should i do?

Shoe raiser: Try getting a shoe leveler hat raises the other side up to match the level of the cam boot. This allows too to continue ambulating but at an even level and less imbalance while walking.
