I had my MACI with TTO 6 days ago, and I’m really struggling with the brace. Has anyone else had this same issue? I find that I’m actually more comfortable using my CPM machine with the brace off than I am just sitting around with the brace on. I don’t think it’s too tight - my leg is just super painful to touch, especially below the knee. My PT said this is common with the TTO. I am supposed to sleep in the brace, so I know I shouldn’t leave it off more than necessary, but the pain of wearing it is nearly unbearable. This pain started around 4 days post op. Any ideas? I’m wearing the brace over an ACE bandage and thin pants.
