Question Posted Wednesday January 11 2006, 3:28 pm
okay so i went to the doctor and i have a problem with my knee and have to wear this huge ugly brace over my pants, its big ugly and soo bulky looking. i want to know if people will like point and stare? and will people think its ugly? and is it stupid to be like nervous to wear it in front of people?
KiSSxMYxPEARLS answered Wednesday January 11 2006, 6:42 pm: If they point & whisper..who cares? They'll only ask what is wrong..but if they are really immature & just rude, then they might say something. But don't take it so serious. Just give them a dirty look or say something rude back. Being nervous is a normal thing. So it's not really stupid.

If you're still self-concious about it, I suggest wearing it under your pants. I would suppose your doctor told you to wear it over your pants to prevent it from rubbing against your skin. My suggestion would be to find a long sock (Like a soccer sock or something, that come up really high and are thick) and cut the foot out of it, and pull it up over your leg where the brace will be. It may take two of them, overlapping. Then, you can put the brace on over that, and then your pants on over the brace.

No one said anything to them... it's just what they had to do. if you want, have people sign it or put ribbons or something on it. people might look at and be too shy to go and ask what happened but they wont make fun of you for it. if they do say "why don't you take a picture, it'll last longer". <3 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]

MyHappyShoe answered Wednesday January 11 2006, 5:10 pm: I had the same problem but a little more embarrassing. Okay I had to wear a knee brace and a boot from the middle of my thigh all the way down to my foot in the sixth grade. I was nervous about what people thought about me but when I got to school I got TONS of attention and it was all positive. So don't stress about it or anything you'll wear it long enough people wont notice it any more. Well good luck and hope I helped at least a little bit. : ) [ MyHappyShoe's advice column | Ask MyHappyShoe A Question ]

I had to wear a knee brace for awhile too and nobody really pointed and stared .. people did ask stuff like "Oh what happend" but just tell them the truth. It`s nothing to be nervous about !

ThugGirl041790 answered Wednesday January 11 2006, 3:43 pm: You shouldn`t worry about what people think.. You have something wrong with your knee.. I doubt people will like stare but some people might ask whats wrong or what happened to your knee.. Which all you got to say is what is wrong..Then they`ll probably leave you alone after that.. People will most likely show they care or they just want to be nosey..You shouldn`t be nervous this is normal.. Maybe you can try wearing it under your pants and wear baggy sweat pants or something if your that uncomfortable.. ♥ Dez [ ThugGirl041790's advice column | Ask ThugGirl041790 A Question ]
