Hi, I probably started wear a knee SUPPORT about 20 yrs ago for right knee...I was still going to my gym into my mid 60's....I still wear a support daily and now I'm working with a magnetic support...not a brace per se, but supports.

Since hip replacement my knee is so worse hence the continuing knee supports and many topicals and joint supplements.

Then because of knee mess, foot/ankle is all worse so I wear supports on my ankle and topicals too.

I wear a back support and have been for probably 20 yrs too -- lower back issues have been a part of me for about 60 yrs.

I know our issues are different I think, but this is what I work with.

I'm doing all to do NO knee surgery, hip did me in and I fear a KNIFE to my body.

My main issue for me is Osteoarthritis.

This is my story, ElaineD... C
