      just left therapy i was advice not to wear it because were trying to strengthen the knee and the brace will only make me depend on it.

      it's not a brace...it's a sleeve. And my therapist suggested it to keep down the swelling

    I'm 17 months out from my RTKR & 4 months out from my LTKR. I wear them ALL day...except to bed. It makes it easier to walk & not feel my knees popping.
