knee brace

Hi (Tanith

Thank you for taking time to respond . I'll try in a minute.
Our surgery is extremely busy. If in terrible plain I'd be told a doctor
will ring back within an hour When he/she rings back, the Doc will determine the level of urgency. I wouldn't be able to speak my doctor.

I might contact him via snail mail. The surgery has 11,000 patients
so email isn't an option. So I'm reliant on DH or a friend to drop the letter in for me.

Can't drive with a brace. I'm so used to being independent.

Are/were you a Dennis Wheatley fan? I was and remember, in "Devil Rides Out", one of the characters is called Tanith.

Hi roseqartz - it was the physio who told me I'd have a NHS brace to delay or prevent further damage. I don't know from who she'd take advice.

Thank you for taking time to respond .

LuckyDucky try looking here which should help to understand the condition although it is from an American site it's quite informative . Still you should speak to your own doctor about your own circumstances.

Who prescribed the brace, was it the consultant? If so he/she is the one to ask.
