I have sores where the CG has rubbed my skin. I have to wear it the Dr said so I just put ANTIBIOTIC ointment on them and gauze. I also cushion where I can with soft socks. I will of course tell the Dr when I see him on Oct. 7th. I was hoping that he would say I don't need it anymore but I am only 5 days post op. I am pretty sure I will have to wear one for a while but I hope not this one!
