Haven't been on here in a while - 3 1/2 years post op and beginning to experience some minor problems. My knee is beginning to slip around a bit and I am once again limited by the pain I experience if I do too much exercise. In fact.... just too much - walking or sitting or anything. I've really been having some difficulties losing weight though and I believe that the problems I am beginning to experience are simply from my inability to get the weight off. I truely believe that if I had lost my excess weight I would be pain free still - who knows though.
I did try some aquatic therapy over the summer and it was good - frankly I enjoyed it with little to no pain.
I am now making one last attempt to lose some weight before I go back to my ortho - I've hired another personal trainer and will be working with him on a daily basis for the first few weeks - he specializes in working with people who have limitations due to knee and hip injuries. We'll see how this goes.
Has anyone had any luck finding a good supportive stabilizing brace for people with larger legs? I have tried several braces to wear while I am walking for exercise but they all seem to roll down on my leg or just plain don't fit right.
