Ces Hi and welcome.

Did Orthotics not have anything suitable or was it more that they weren't much interested in helping you?

Have you access to a Physiotherapist, mind you, they'd probably refer you to Orthotics... xx

I'm getting a knee support on Monday. I'll let you know what it's like. 😁👍👌🤗 xx

I have seen orthotics. The hinge is not stiff enough.
They seem to have brace for injuries

Wearing my knee support now. Very light and good old velcro. If I get on with it I get another one for my other leg. Very comfortable. Sorry no pictures as I haven't figured out how to take one single handed with my tablet. 💊😉😁🤣xx

That's great - do you feel safer walking now?

I haven't figured out how to take one single handed with my tablet.

You could ask one of your lovely carers to take a photo (just make sure you're not flashing us 🤭) 😘😘

I think so, although I do sway from side to side but unlike a weeble I may fall down. Good call and I'll ask tomorrow. 🤙👍😁😘xx
