joatsaint 2,814 Posted June 28, 2013 I wore mine for the 1st month. My doc said I could stop wearing it 2 weeks after surgery, but when I returned to work, I kept wearing it just to be safe.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It forced me to heal faster, and I was pain-free by 3 weeks (though I hated those first few weeks!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I sure hope this gets better because it is keeping me from feeling good about anything at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
