It is called a knee immobilizer. Seems that for me sleeping is dangerous. I went to straighten my right knee the other night and my knee was locked into the bent position. After much screaming in pain, tears, and waking up the house, I finally agreed to go to the emergency room. So off we go...Honey, Princess, and fat Mama. Of course it had to be the coldest damn night in history. The temp gauge in the truck said it was 3...yes that is three degrees...with a wind chill of -25.Seems that I have now torn my right lateral meniscus...lovely. Now I get to wear this darn thing for a few days. Merry Christmas to me.
UPDATE: After 24 hours and some loverly Vicodin it is now feeling better. I can straighten it a bit but it is still sore.
Moral of the story..I don't have to do anything but try to sleep and I still get hurt..damn it. LOL.

Oh girl, I feel your pain. Are you going to have to have surgery to fix it. I can hook you up with a great surgeon. I took a benadryl and a xanax (better living through chemistry) and fell asleep so hard, I pulled a muscle in my neck. Now I cannot turn my neck around. It has been about a week now. This growing old stuff just blows......Yours in pain and pills....R
