We have all seen a person who walks with a brace on their arm or leg. It is usually a person who has undergone orthopedic surgery or injury and has to wear a brace for 6 to 12 weeks. They can be used for up to six weeks, but you should consider removing them earlier if they are no longer needed.
When the injury is healed, you should remove the brace to prevent future complications. You should also consider removing it before the six-week mark if you can do so without causing any pain or discomfort in your arm or leg.
It’s best to listen to your doctor when you should remove it as it all depends on the severity of the condition.
