Thanks guys the ankle seems to be getting better now, went to the brae clinic two weeks ago. And they heated the area up and pushed it out createing a pockect area for my ankle. They also replaced all the straps and velcro. But he said no to a new brace, due to the fact it costs $3,000 to make one.See this is where i wish i had a successfuful home based biz going on. I could slap the money on the desk and say look forget the insurance there\'s your money make me a new one. But nnnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooo, i have to wait till the locks fail, stumble around hoping i dont fall. Then wait 4 or 5 weeks for the parts to come in on camal back. I just ranting sorry guys
