I haven't used leg bags in well over 12 years. I use bed bags which had
been cut down so that the urine flows more effectively. It depends on how

Hi Yannik,
I use the Alpine bags also and have occasionally had the problem of the two

I found out I had osteoporosis and then one of my aides broke my femur
while doing leg exercises, If you have never had a standing frame, you should
be tested to make sure you don't have osteoporosis. I know you are a newer
injury than myself. I found out I could not get a standing frame,
