I dislocated my kneecap 4 nights ago and have a few questions. The Dr. told me to wear a patella stabilizer knee brace for 6 weeks. I have the brace on and my knee is still pretty weak and I can't fully flex or extend it yet.
But I suspect within the week it should be feeling alot better, but this brace is pretty restricting? I feel like if I am wearing it I will be limping/hopping around because it won't be easy to bend my leg because of the brace. Is this normal? Is this what it is supposed to do?
Anyone who has gone through this before who can let me know what to expect?
Also did you wear the brace everyday all day long? Oh, it's neoprene! Get a plastic one...then you won't set the metal detectors off. Lighter too. |
