no loss of sensation up just a little higher than the leg is there?

actually if I remember correctly, for the first 3 weeks after my surgery that was the last thing on my mind . . .

Well when I removed all the crap I have wrapped around my leg last nite (it all got wet in the shower) I scratched around the stitches area & could feel that.....so no loss of sensation that I'm aware of....

Should I be trying to bend my leg at all?? Cuz when I lift my leg up to move around, it HURTS a lot....

No, that's why they gave you a knee brace. It will be three weeks before you can even try to bend it a little.

When are they pulling your stitches out?

No ;-) that's why I asked. sometimes you get into situations where it bends when you don't want it to with the brace off

keep it on! hehe

SOOOO much nicer than having a cast though
