665587 tn?1265946924 Had Open reduction, internal fixation with allograft bone graft. I now have to wear a knee immobilizer and no weight bearing for 6 weeks. What do you wear over the brace??? It's winter and I'm freezing sitting here in my underwear. Either nothing fits over it or it catches on the velcro..... Any help will be appreciated.
Avatar f tn I have had nerve tests that show damage to the sciatic nerve---all my pain and numbness if from the knee down. Know one has any clue why this happened. Foot turns inward, not out. Will move down with a lot of effort but not up. I went to PT a couple of times but all they did was exercises to strengthen my hips, no gait training. If I don't have my foot in a brace/shoe or ortho boot 24/7 it gets very painful with the buzzing/numbness.
Avatar m tn I read "I bought a knee brace for work, and sports. It is like elastaprene, or something. It works well keeping my knee stable (ACL injury). But it makes my skin have a rash. Is there another style material brace I could buy that would not make my skin have a rash? " But no answer. Is there any solution?

Avatar f tn No, a maternity belt is a big piece of material like a belt that you can leave your pants undone underneath if you don't want to buy maternity clothes. A maternity sling or belly brace is usually recommended by a dr or physio and is a firm piece of material with a little bit of stretch that attaches with velcro that you wear around your waist to support your pelvis and back due to the extra weight of your bump.

Avatar f tn I have foot drop and have two types of braces for it. One if a bulky brace that was casted to my foot, and the other is a "leaf up" brace. I had a TERRIBLE time finding shoes to accomodate either shoe. Here is what I've discovered: the shoe MUST have a removable insole. This is to give the shoe "depth" to have room for the brace. Also, the shoe must have a high back as the shoe actually works in conjunction with the brace.
Avatar f tn My doc recommended wrist splints at night so I got cheap Ace velcro wraps and they seem to be working. I still have numbness in my right thumb/forefinger almost all the time but it's pretty mild. You might want to try an elbow brace to immobilize yiur arm at night - mention it to your doc and see what they say. Carpal tunnel symptoms are very common due to fluid changes/swelling; I understand they go away after birth for most people.
1337734 tn?1336234591 ( My factors and Physical therapist suggested that I try a soft ankle brace for foot drop. I have to admit I am wary to spend more money on things that don't work. My question: has anyone tried a soft ankle brace and what were your results?
Avatar f tn Is it o.k. to wear a knee brace that also covers the vaiacose vein in my shin. without the brace I have pain in my knee cap & not sure if any pain is from the varicose vein. it does feel better with the brace on But will it do harm to the varicose vein?

Avatar f tn My son destroyed an ACL playing football -- he lives a normal life without one, but uses an orthopaedic knee brace when he runs or plays sports.
Avatar m tn He also suggested waiting as long as possible for knee replacement so hopefully the brace helps- he did say there were more specialized Patella support braces available also- Can you recommend any if this one seems to help the situation???
645800 tn?1466860955 Yesterday I finally got my new foot brace for my right foot ( called a toe off) . Right from the start it felt so weird walking with it on. Probably mostly because my foot has been dropping and turning in for such a long time that I had gotten somewhat use to it. It is made of carbon fiber material and goes all the way up my shin to just below my knee.
Avatar f tn t to bad, then i found the Dorsi-Lite Foot Splint which i found to be better than my first brace but because i have worn it that much the velcro strips that are glued onto the plastic brace are starting to come off. I wear this brace mostly in the house as i can wear it with bare feet or slippers and the one i wear outside is from the orthotics from my hospital which provided me with the Dynamic Walk AFO, this feels and makes me look like i am walking near normal if i dare say that.
Avatar m tn The knee started feeling around 80% better about 3 days ago. I wore knee brace every day even to sleep, 2 days ago I changed to a more comfortable brace with those metal hinges on sides, also slept with it. My current issue/question, is 2 days ago I woke up with a swollen ankle and pain when putting leg down to walk. I don't remember any sprain in ankle at all, I had just walked a theme park the night before with no ankle issue or even the knee felt great.
Avatar f tn thanks for your reply, I was also wondering do you think they would follow the same steps as last time regarding the surgery?? like six weeks on crutches again but no knee brace again or would they maybe change it?
Avatar f tn See your chiropractor, seriously, I have a knee that does that, he works on it and it is fine. In the mean time, try wearing a knee brace to give it support.
486038 tn?1300063367 Wha is THAT? Sounds like an alien to me. The NYU doctor said I needed one on my foot to help with my walking... and so I said "ok". This is a brace right? Because he was talking about a brace too. Just making sure!
Avatar f tn I have no reflex in my right knee and I was thinking about getting a brace for it. Anyone have similar problems and used a brace?
957414 tn?1246670050 I went down right away and felt pain in my left knee. Both sides of my knee were a little bit swollen, and I could not bend my knee all the way back. In addition, if I put pressure on the sides of my knee, it hurts and this was after swelling went down. I was able to bear my full weight on my injuried leg without pain at all. I have since then put on a brace to limit my knee movement with icing and elevation.
Avatar n tn Got all the pills and drained right knee. If its not better he has to cut.
Avatar m tn t really wear the brace all of the time. Each evening after I have my dinner I take off the brace because I don't do much walking after that. But I have noticed that after wearing the brace all day I can walk around my house without any tripping. I think this is because my leg has not gotten worn out during the day and eliminated the foot drop from being tired.
