Default Good knee braces?

Hi everyone,

My knees KILL me whenever I do anything active. When I used to go to PT all they did was have me do exercises that hurt me knee and then I would be swollen for 2 or 3 days. It was suggested I get knee braces. Does anyone know of any that work really well?

Off hand no, but wouldn't your PT know of a good brace if that's what he suggested? When my DD had sore knees the doc said that it was the quad muscle that was weak and gave her exercises to strengthen the quads. When I had sore knees when I first started running I took glucosamine, that helped a lot, D H still takes it and feels his knees when he doesn't take if for a week or so. I now use ground flaxseed which is known as a good lublicator for joints. It isn't much but I hope this helps...
