Thursday 8th April - Day 13 after surgery, fitting of new leg brace
I had my new, hinged leg brace fitted today. It's far more difficult to fit and remove than the old one but this one seems more supportive. I'm locked into only 90 degrees movement right now, of which I can probably do about 30. Check this out...

ReplyDeleteI find it a bummer that my knee can't bend realy well, i think it means that i have a long way ahead of me...how's it been for you?

New brace is good! Takes a bit longer to put on or take it off but once it's on it is more comfortable and allows me to bend my knee up to 90 degrees. I can only get about 30 degrees at the moment so long way to go yet.
ReplyDeleteI'd suggest a brace with a hinged knee to your doctor. My doc told me I need to start bending as soon as possible or the knee will become much harder to move in the future!
