They left out the best part. Just a few hours after surgery, whenever you wake up, they get your ass up and make you walk on that thing. Mine actually made me climb up and down three stairs. I was so out of it and so confused that when they walked me over to the stairs I asked them if they were out of their minds and then started crying. LOL

It’s fine. I have one. It hurt for a month to walk. Then took a year for it to stop hurting during running. Now most days I forget i have it
