Use TWO knee braces?

Posted by grrranny @grrranny, Feb 10 11:09pm

I have bone-on-bone arthritis in my left knee, and am currently using a knee brace to help me get through physical therapy following a stroke. It's putting extra pressure on my right knee. Would using a knee brace on my right knee as well as my left knee help support my right knee and keep it from buckling while walking with my walker, or would it rub against the other one too much

I found out today that this was not a good idea. The two knee braces rubbed against each other so much that I could hardly walk -- much less walk normally.
