Knee Brace Irritation

Posted by grrranny @grrranny, Sep 22 10:19pm

Been doing PT the last couple months since stroke 4 months ago, and the knee brace my orthopedic doc gave me has just started to rub a place on the inside of my left knee, in spite of wearing it over my workout pants. What can be done besides applying Aquaphor ointment? Any padding that might work?

@hraka13

As promised, the Executive and her team did fast walk it through and I was approved for surgery on Monday morning and my surgeon will be replacing my knee on Wednesday. But how many patients know how to move the levers of power like I did.

I know knee replacements are supposed to be tough but I have a great surgeon and I have set myself an aggressive target. My golf course closes for overseeding on October 6th and reopens November 7th. My target is to be able to play golf by then.
