Does anyone use knee braces? I need to use them because I have a medical condition that causes weakness in my knees. I just purchased a pair of compression sleeves from Futuro brand. They have a doughnut shaped gel ring that is supposed to sit upon the kneecap area to keep it aligned. Has anyone tried this variety of knee brace? I'm not sure if I like them. I know that they should be tight, but sometimes I'm afraid they are affecting my circulation. Also, they kind of slide down as I walk around, so I have to adjust them a lot. I find them good for relief when I'm laying in bed with my legs stretched out, but the whole reason I bought them is for support while I walk, bend, and squat. I'm regretting not spending the extra money and getting the Tommie Copper compression knee sleeves. Does anyone use knee braces, and what kind do you use?
