I do not want to be off subject, but I would like to know a little about the knee brace. My right knee is causing a considerable amount of pain. I have thought about some type of brace, but was not sure what to use. I would like to know more about the brace you are wearing.
I have had good luck with the neoprene sock from ACE with a hole cut for the patella, I bought it at the drug store about 15 years ago. I bought a second one two years ago - could not find the same one but found one with two velcro straps - it works but not as well, I have one for both knees just in case but I typically use just the one. The key for me is a adding a little support to the tissues and keeping the knee warm promoting blood flow.
