    LTKR 10/5/21 Not sure why over the last few days I feel like I'm moving backwards as far as recovery. Pain and swelling have had me resting more and it doesn't seem to help.

    Yes the brace immobilizes the knee it has 2 stability bars on each side and one in the back. I also wear the compression socks full time and taking 325 mg aspirin per day a regimen he wants me to continue for the first 6 weeks. Having staples out in a few hours its been 2 weeks, can't wait...

    Has anyone else had to wear a supporting brace for their knee after surgery. I've had mine on for 2 weeks post surgery and can only remove it to shower and exercise. Getting staples out tomorrow and hopefully no longer need the brace.
