It doesn't bend too well, but I can manage to get around and drive and all that. I've taken minimal pain meds and it really isn't hurting too bad at the moment. I'll definitely hit the meds before bed though. I didn't have any last night since the pharmacy was closed by the time I got out of the ER, and it was a rough night trying to find a position to lay in that didn't make it hurt.That doesn't look good at all. Are you still able to use it much?
