Knee pain: The cause of your knee pain and swelling needs to be diagnosed first. Please see your doc. He/she will do that and then it a brace is needed you will be able to get one or any other treatment needed to help. Peace and good health.

Yes: Yes there certainly are multiple types of ankle supports available. The bigger question is why do you have this swelling? It would probably be better to be seen and accurately diagnosed before beginning treatment. For example, if your leg is swollen from a blood clot, wearing a ankle brace to treat it would not be effective and potentially even dangerous. Consider being seen.
