A member asked:
What is the best knee brace for post surgery meniscus tears. the brace issued to me feels to cause pain more so than relive it.

If you are: Having pain as a result of wearing your knee brace, contact your orthopedic surgeon or physical therapist and request a different one.

Depends: Depends on the surgery. With partial meniscectomy where the damaged part of the meniscus is removed typically no brace is needed. With meniscal repair a brace is usually used to control the amount of bend in the knee postop. Check with your surgeon.
