Teen boy footwear is very personal based on what's cool in his group. I'd go with a Foot Locker (or other) gift card for whatever amount you want to spend. We adults are not qualified to choose teen footwear.
Just arrived home from my first session of torture, I mean physical therapy. Whew!
The therapist really put me through my paces in the hour-long time period. When it was all said and done, I worked up a bit of a sweat, am experiencing quite a lot of pain and am tired.
So I'm sitting with my leg elevated and an ice pack on my knee. I had a really rough night last night, so I think a nap might be in order this afternoon. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Ads, sorry to hear your leg is in pain

Is that the only medication you can take for your leg? It sounds like it may not be the right one
I am also on gabapentin. And that helps some.
What dose? Sometimes it needs to be increased for maximum benefit.

800 mg twice a day.
thanks for your help, guys. you are right, and i shouldn't be agonizing over apparel choices for a teenage boy anymore. it's just that i'm reluctant to give up the personal aspect of gift giving to my grandkids. i guess that on some level i've been aware of the fact that my two oldest grands are truly gleeful only at the sight of gift cards from their fave stores. it's not an easy truth for me to swallow, however. these days, thoughtful handmade or handpicked gifts don't stand a chance against the gift of plastic. but, easy peasy, right?
Medicate prior to PT, by about 20-30 minutes. It will really help get through the session. We wouldn't want you to avoid going because of pain. They should also have ice packs there and let you sit with one for about 20 mins after, especially if you are driving/riding any distance to get home.
Thanks, PF. I do take a pain med before therapy and, NO, I won't avoid the therapy because of pain. There's too much at stake. They do ice me after the session. They did the same after the therapy on my hand in the summer. I can't drive yet. Leg doesn't work well enough to take that risk. I have a wonderfully handsome and sexy chauffeur. His name is "husband."
