Knee Cushions?

It's the insides of them. When i sit, my knees are against each other, and, well, almost-full-time-wheelchair-use means they're against each other all day long, and when my groin muscles spasm, they crush each other. Knee pads wouldn't help because it's not the front of my knees being affected; it's the inside of my knees.

I rarely sleep on my stomach as it is uncomfortable with the way my hardware holds my spine. I gemerally sleep on my side, with a pillow between my knees. The red marks (they're not bruises, they're pressure marks) are from sitting in my wheelchair.

My tailbone is what is bruised (due to a miscalculation mid-transfer), and I plan to stay off of it as much as possible and have been gobbing Calmoseptine on all my sore/bruised spots.

If you "must" kneel, the best type of knee pads I found were the gel type, which has a certain tackiness that does not slide on hard surfaces but moves sufficiently well over carpets, offers great protection for knees, and is held in place by a flexible silicon band that buttons on.  The billows at the top allows you to wear them all day if you need to get up and down a lot, which I did as a wire installer for telephone, computers, and alarms.  Even after I had meniscus surgery, I was able to kneel frequently without damage to my knees!  I still use them to help me expand my physical therapy options, or to get on floor to clean, or to play "other dog" with my GSD!  They are non-marring on floors.  Here is a link with a photo:

Last week, I was asked to give an estimate on a wire run for a home office (computers, phone, and CCTV).  Business owner thought contractors were trying to rip him off, and that paying me a bit for estimate would give him bargaining power and help him decide how to order the job.  My ideas were so radically different that he asked me if I could do the job, or oversee a worker--haven't done that in 6 years!  I told the man that I would "take forever" if I tried to do it, but since I love this work, I decided to try.  I warned him that I would need him to place the ladder and lay boards in the attic for me to slide or crawl on--didn't want to fall through his ceiling and make more work!!!  I actually completed the job in two days by working smart, and he gave me a lovely bonus on top of good pay.  I programmed everything to work together and felt happier than I have been in a long time just doing desk work besides very occasional performing as a musician.  And I felt pretty good the next day, just a few sore muscles that hadn't been used in 6 years!  Wore my knee pads over my braces.  Managed not to break my braces on the ladder, as I had once before.  I love to climb and it felt really good, even if I had to lift my leg for each step. 

Don't you just hate that!!!!  Same here...

I am so fortunate that on of the securing bands on my braces is exactly where my legs touch the chair, and so they are protected!
