I am 3 weeks post op and have to be wearing the straight leg brace to immobilise the knee. I am really struggling to get any sleep, just about managing 2 hours a night if Im lucky. I seem to have the pain at a tolerable place but this brace is so uncomfortable. Has anyone else got similar,any advice welcome
Hi Danniwales
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community and, although I'm not a member of this group, I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.
I do hope you can get an answer to your problem as it must be very difficult dealing with the pain and lack of sleep.
