I'm starting to get irritated with my TLS brace. It keeps moving up on me and rubbing up against the under arms and becoming raw My PT recommended getting some mold skin and putting it on the under arm part. The brace guy I saw at Mass General told me I should be wearing two shirts one underneath and and another over that. I am sweating with just the underneath shirt and this brace..lol I am complaining already and I have 6 more weeks before they will start reducing it. Right now I can just take it off to take a shower which is heaven!! =)
On better note, I have been reducing my pain meds. I am down to one dilaudid every 8 hrs instead of 2 every 3hrs. but I am still taking my valium 2x a day without that I dont think I could sleep..PT has been working with me, Instead of the walker I have been walking with one crutch. I find it a lot easier and I can't stand walking with the walker, not bad for being 3wks post op this thursday =).
