  • I wanted to include my UA-cam community that gives me so much support as I start my journey with the ExoSym leg brace. I was scheduled to have my leg amputated at the end of the year, but hopefully with this device, I will be able to gain back my mobility without the chronic pain. So join me as I take this journey and hopefully I can help someone else out there that may be going through the same issues I am. If you are, I would love to hear from you!

    I hope you’re still looking at these msgs... I have thought of you often (and prayed you didn’t have to amputate your leg) after “speaking” with you even though the financier said, “No,” to the class..So happy for you! Keep making the epoxy videos; I watch them over and over!

    Well I just bawled my face off for 6 minutes. I'm SO happy for you!! I've been riding for 48 years. 30 years as a professional. I've also been a coach for the US Para Equestrian Team and have a lot of experience with world class riders with physical challenges. I hope your back in the saddle and if not, that you will be soon! Horses are so good for the soul! THANK YOU for sharing your story!!

    Thank you so much for sharing this and for putting into words what I am feeling right now. I am in UK and about to receive bilateral Momentum braces, the UK equivalent of exosym. After 12 years on chronic pain and multiple surgeries I am hoping for a goid result- but also facing the fact that the braces are for life and that a 'cure' in the usual sense will not happen for me. It's a tricky one but I know I will get there but it,'s good to know it's not just me

      @@RK3Designs thank you. I was fitted with my braces last Friday. So far so good. The difference they make is truly amazing. I've gone from being bed/chair bound without them to being able to walk like a human being, with absolutely minimal discomfort, quite literally the day they were fitted. I feel so priviledged to have them. Now I just need to build up wearing time, strengthen the other parts of me (after 12 years on crutches) and learn to negotiate stairs etc. All to come but a week in and it's feeling good. I hope your brace journey continues positive too.

    The cost they charge for these and not except insurance is just criminal. Once again the needy and poor have to either continue to suffer or go in debt the rest of their lives. I might be wrong but it seems like the device was invented using our tax dollars and you would think Our Country would want to help it's people, not rip them off.
