Hi Kezzo,
Glad to hear that you're doing well, all things considered. You're still early on in this, so keep being careful and don't be alarmed if you have days when you seem to be worse for no apparent reason. That's normal!

When you have the brace on, you have a lot of extra support. Your muscles are getting some help and everything is being held taut. When you take it off, it's going to feel a bit strange. I think that probably the skin around your incision is still sensitive, so that along with the strange feeling of things not being held taut by the brace is probably what's giving you that odd feeling.

If that doesn't seem like what it is, mention it to your doctor. But I suspect that once you're out of the brace, that feeling will go away.

I always felt very strange without the brace on. You get used to it, and it feels very different without it.

Hope it continues as well for you as it's going now. You sound great!

Take care,
Emily
