Acromegaly

Shopping

One of the first things you might have noticed changing as a result of your acromegaly is your shoe size, particularly the width, or that your rings no longer fit.

While treatment for acromegaly can reduce some of the soft tissue growth, it cannot undo any bones that may have grown.1 As a result you may find it difficult to find shoes that fit on the high street. Shopping online will give you access to a greater range of sizes and styles, and you get to try them out in the comfort of your own home.
