I went to my pre-op class today which was.....interesting. All of it was informative and useful but after reading so much here, I had a hard time not laughing when the nurse held up a couple of small ice packs and said that was all that would be needed for swelling. She also said most people were up and about and getting on with their lives about 2 weeks after surgery which also seems a little optimistic but hope she's right!
They don't use ice machines in the hospital and I was hoping they would recommend a certain type, etc. so I'm on my own to try to figure this out. It sounds like the Breg is the one to have but apparently a prescription is needed for it. There are quite a few for sale on ebay but have been burned (no pun intended) enough there to want to avoid that route.
Has anyone bought another brand they especially like? Any recommendations (or suggestions about what to avoid) will be appreciated.
Once again, thanks.
