Do not take it off until your surgeon okays it- I make this mistake this week FOUR, I was so sick of the brace, and ended up moving weird and re-tore my healing meniscus and had to have surgery AGAIN and restart (at least the meniscus part, I also had a ACL and MCL repair).

It's really terrible, especially if you're a light sleeper like me. It's so uncomfortable. I found pain meds and prescription sleeping meds (which my surgeon prescribed once my pain was better and I talked to them about my sleeping issues) to be essential.

Also really helpful, for me, has been helpful:

A wedge pillow, sleep with it with my knee propped up. Helps to keep the leg more stable and also my foot/knee facing the ceiling. I found a big issue for me is I'm a side sleeper which you can't do with the injury/healing (the pain from pressure on your knee ends up being worse than the uncomfortableness), but I had trouble keeping my leg in that straight position and with my knee facing up towards the ceiling. But the wedge pillow helps not just with elevation for swelling and pain control, but gives your leg so much more support/stability so it can stay in that upright position with more ease. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0968X5K4M/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_YFF9ENQ541GSRY39Z4D5?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Good luck. I know, it fucking SUCKS. It just does and it's such a long journey, but keep inch worming your way forward. It does slowly get better, but yeah it fucking sucks- know there are people out there who get how much it sucks.

You shouldn’t be laying on your side at this point. My surgeon was very, very clear that you should only be on your back when laying down until he clears me later on to lay on my side.

I’ve been using a wedge pillow in my bed, this one to be exact: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0968X5K4M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_Y9E8CYK3NPFPD271Z7YZ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Thiswedge pillow is the wedge pillow I got, and Thismaternity pillow is the maternity/pregnancy pillow I got. I did however add a little bit more stuffing to it since I had some lying around. I think it would still be fine without extra stuffing

Yes. This is the one I got.

You don’t use that one. Use a flat one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0968X5K4M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_R4GJ4D1VPQT5JCFKTWBJ
