This diease is very hard for one person to tell another person about because it is so different for so many people.. I am 21 years old and have had 2 surgeries in the past year for my CMT. My feet hurt so much worse now then they did before.. I can barely walk in the morning and have trouble with my feet swelling to twice their normal size. I would do some different excerises at home to try and see what works for your husband.. The one that i have had the most success with is.. sit on a flat hard surface and take a bath towel, put it aound the bottom of your feet around the balls of your toes and strech you achealis tendon the mroe you do that the easier it is to walk. THe surgeries are not for everyone. I did it to hopefully make my feet better. I wanted to be able to have waht ever career i wanted and to have children. It looks like for me, I have to have a job where i sit at a desk and When i have children I will be on bed rest due to the fact my feet will not be able to support me. I also recommend the sports braces. they support your feet and ankles more, less falling and your feet are less sore.
I hope something here helped you!! Just remember your not alone
