Hi all
My 13 yr old daughter has chronic and debilitating foot pain (which the NHS can't find the cause of 5 years on). She can stand and walk for short periods, sometimes as much as 30 - 50 mins pushing through severe pain, but that much would mean the rest of the day and the the next sitting and in lots of pain. She won't try a wheelchair or use crutches so we don't get out much!! Most days she manages at her mainstreem secondary school, some she comes home. We have recently seen an OT who ok'd a wheelchair (she won't touch) and blue badge, but haven't found any groups / help / others with anthing similar. Any tips, links / advice etc apreciated...
Today's web search leading me here, was to find how she can do her Bronze Duke of Edinborough, which she is keen to do. I was hoping to get her doing it on horseback as she already rides & has a horse she shares but not part of a riding school / pony club etc & we're not in any way rich like some equestrians, so I'm not sure we could afford the cost seeing the only sort of option I've found so far (its for Gold D of E not bronze). She has used a bike in the past, not sure if she could now, it may be my next hope.
Thanks all, hope the day is treating you well.
