DaZebra Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 So I've got this brace on my knee that I need to wear 24/7 for 6 weeks. I'm about halfway through, but thus far I've acquired a vicious purple blister + bruise. I've tried band-aids, I've tried moleskin, and it's just not cutting it. It's not something that can be helped by reshaping or resizing the brace itself, or else I would have had it fixed by now. I need suggestions on what I can do so it doesn't hurt so freaking bad. Especially now that the blister popped and I'm worried about infections and stuff. Quote
john doe Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 Uhhhh have you talked to a doctor?A doctor??? Are you crazy? A doctor is probably the one who put the brace on. Why would anyone talk to their doctor if their medical device is painful or uncomfortable? Quote

miztrniceguy Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 A gauze pad over the spot? I wear a knee brace regularly. Not 24/7 but mostly for walking long distances, like into and out of my workplace. Quote
