When should I wear a knee brace?
About a month ago, I was running in the dark and fell on pavement. HARD. My left knee cap got most of the damage. It hurt ALOT for a few days and I could hardly bend my knee. It has pretty much quit hurting now, but sometimes it randomly starts hurting. Like yesterday, I was walking in school and it randomly felt like my knee was facing a different way from I was walking. It hurt for about 15 mins, then went back to normal. My knee also doesn't look/feel the same as it did before I fell or my other knee. I can also not put pressure on it cause it hurts ALOT. ANYWAYYS, my question is, when/ or should I wear a knee brace? I've never had something like this happen before so I'm very clueless. Thankks!

I think you should elways keep it handy. Not always wearing it but have it nearby so its there when you start feeling any pain in your knee. Also you should def wear it when you are working or walking around and you know that you will be walking or working a while. I wouldn't go running until your completely sure that your knee is healed. Seriously.

Well a knee brace will probably not help you much until you know what's wrong for sure. Go see an orthopedic doctor before any purchase of anything knee related.
