Would like to know if anyone has had luck with braces for surfing,are they worth the money ,do they really protect or just piece of mind

Buy a lid.

Don't use a fin on the crook leg until it doesn't hurt to do so.

Be patient.

Check with a good physio and trust them..
Recovering from a torn MCL took me long enough, still not 100%, but probably because I didn't do enough rehab for long enough. But then we wear wetsuits a lot over here so it gives some element of confidence.

Yep I have worn a brace after my two knee recos....good help for lateral movement....you need to do the rehab though...took about 2 years total before I could do any real hard work on it pain free

how long did it take before you had strength to work and surf again

4 months out of the water the second time....
