I must thank everyone for their input. The sheepskin padding was hard to come by immediately as was needed, Surgical stores all sold out except for heel pads. Pharmacy’s here do not order it & as we approached a Holiday wkend it was difficult contacting vendors. So, we cut them up & made due. So far so good. Ive been able to wear a larger size bra w back extenders for up to 5 hrs the past three days. Now I’m 2 days past the 5 wk mark. The severe pain I experienced daily seems to have subsided, w residual but tolerable pain & discomfort remaining. I’ve come to understand this is par for the course of this virus.
