Rolex 4 Pain Relief

I broke my right leg in 4 places below my knee and my ankle the day my modern/classic was scheduled to arrive. Long story short it was delayed due to bad weather and I was in the hospital awaiting surgery. I ended up getting a 12in titanium rod in the 1st break, plate in the 2nd, screw only in the 3rd/4th, and nothing in my ankle. Needless to say this was the most painful experience of my life. Two days after surgery I was finally discharged and aside from getting back to my wife and daughter all I could think about was the timepiece. Since I’ve been home I’ve spent an hour or so everyday wearing it in bed and I’m convinced the euphoria released the moment it touched my wrist is creating a pain relieve type of effect. Who would known !!!

Excellent pain relief as long as you don’t use it as a suppository.

Get well soon and you have a fantastic watch.

Keep the leg elevated bro. Will help with any swelling or pain. Also walk around as much as you can tolerate, will help keep that blood moving in your body. Speedy recovery!!

Wish you a strong recovery. Your post reminded me of my post surgery around this time a few years ago and with a great watch too.

Sorry to hear and I hope you have a speedy recovery. I know first hand what you are talking about. I got my BLNR to help me recover from spinal surgery several years ago and I needed my TT Sub to get me through 3 months in the hospital after my Motorcycle accident.
