My fiancee has torn her ACL in her knee and now has to have surgery. The surgeon put her in a Townsend Rebel Pro ACL Brace. Does anyone know how to make these things more comfortable to wear?

I work in a hospital on an orthopedic floor. The braces are uncomfortable but just make sure some of her discomfort isnt from a part of the brace rubbing on her skin. If that is the case, put a small 4x4 between her skin and the brace. If it continues to be uncomfortable I wold call the md and make an appt
