Re: IK stood and walked.. good news.
Alhamdolillah. Yes its a large support that wraps around the spinal column coming to the front rib cage as well. Its normally a 24x7 requirements until healing is validated through scans/tests.
I know since a close friend just went through a major car accident is wearing it these days along with his 10 year old son. Both have vertebrae cracks at multiple locations.
Inshallah IK will heal completely and be ready to enter the political boxing ring soon!
