Need medical sites

I have been bookmarking medical sites that people have suggested for various items. Well, we had some problem with our computer and now I don't have that folder anymore. My AFO broke and my deductible is $1000. We don't have that right now so I wanted to order an AFO online until we can save up for it. I hated the company that made my AFO so if the ordered AFO is good enough, I can basically use that instead and save the $1000 for some other necessity.
 
Can anyone recommend (or re-recommend) online sites to order an AFO or other medical products. I'll just book mark them again and also put the posts into a folder for saving for later.
 
Thank you so much.

Hi Candle, Well that's a new one (heating pad burns) but if circulation is the problem, you might try using an aspirin cream in the area of treatment. Just...

Hi Don, I bookmarked the site and will do a search a little later. AFO is Ankle-Foot-Orthotic. It is a brace for the lower leg that helps with "drop foot." I...
