Howdy, fellow bad knee-ers! I was wondering how you support your knees when they are feeling weak. I had my left knee pop out (and right back in, fortunately! :-D) last week, and from time to time, it's still feeling a little weak. Mostly on the inside side of the knee joint. Tonight, when I got down off a stool in our breakfast area, I felt the two bones slide against each other like it was going to pop again, but I moved quickly so it didn't. But it still hurt for a little while.

I had a wrap for my knee when I was thinner (the same type you wear after a knee surgery), but that doesn't fit now. Ace bandages tend to roll down my thighs and gather in the knee area, causing chafing.

Does anyone use something else to support their knees after an injury?

Thanks in advance!

Pat :-D

My knees ache only once in a while. So I really can't help you, but this will bump your question up so it doesn't get lost. :-)Stephanie
