I am having my first post surgery follow up on Monday. I feel great and have no pain. I was wondering what type of cast/brace I will be getting since I have stainless steel plates and screws holding the bones together (my appointment will 17 days post surgery). Further, the Orthopedic Resident said I couldn't ride for six months (risk of falling), is it possible with some sort of brace I could talk the Dr. into letting me ride sooner?
