Hello All,
Here in Australia they don't seem to put patients in a brace after surgery. I have been reading your posts and they do seem very uncomfortable! In saying that, I wish I was in one to stop me trying to bend down and go that little bit further. I seem to punish myself adn end up in pain. They don't send you to rehab either in Australia??? It seems really strange when everyone I have been talking to on the posts has been in a brace and rehab, and I was just sent home to look after myself (no brace or rehab)?? Am I missing out on anything at rehab? Am I suppose to be doing anything apart from walking?
Also, I am 8 weeks post op and for the past week I have not been able to sleep due to ACHING LEGS!! They just ache and ache from top to bottom and I can't lie still (which is very hard when you are limited to start with). Does anyone else have this sort of ache?
Thanks
P.S have you all finished your Christmas shopping??
