    Tommie Copper

    Truck wreck

    Overall Experience:

    In March of 2014, I was in a major truck wreck and I hit black ice with my 2007 Peterbilt. I lost control at 60 mph and went into the ditch with frozen snow bringing me to an abrupt halt. The 60,000-lb load of pipe came crashing forward pushing me through the dash of my truck. After 2.5 hours they finally pulled me out of the wreck. I sustained extensive damage to my body, from the partial amputation of my lower right leg to soft tissue damage of my right hip, de-gloving of my right leg, a piece out of my left calve muscle, broken ribs, shattered sternum, and two broken shoulder sockets.

    I went through several surgeries to put me back together. I'm living proof that the Tommie Copper compression wear works. I used the socks to keep the swelling down after they put my leg back on, the knee brace for swelling in my left knee, and the compression shorts for the damage to my hips. This was very helpful for the past three years as I went from learning how to walk again to walking 5 to 7 miles a day. For the past year, while having my shoulders replaced, I've been using the compression wear t-shirts to help with speeding up the healing and keeping the swelling down.

    I'm living proof that Tommie Copper wear works. I would recommend it to anyone injured in a major accident.

    Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
