Hi I have patella dysplasia and i got told a J brace is best for this ? Would you agree ?

[@SonamMD]

@@jdee_Golf It can help if the patella is prone to moving laterally as the j-brace can help stabilize it.

Do you recommend PRP for knee pain due to Rheumatoid Arthritis? Thank you in advance.

[@SonamMD]

If knee pain is truly due to RA I would first recommend speaking with a rheum to address the underlying disease process as oral agents may be required.

At the beginning of the year i got mcl tear and I been recover for a while now. When i got back to sport, everything was fine, my running jumping, etc. however if i apply to much pressure my knee felt like it was twisted or something. Felt like my knee was loose. Which one would you recommend for basketball player like me. Btw awesome informative video

[@SonamMD]

The main question you will need to ask is what motion is causing the buckling. if its lateral, the double hinged braces can be helpful - lots of athletes prefer braces like that one. I encourage people to try on a few and see if they find them helpful before purchasing.

[@umadbro7256]

Did you plan to do surgery? I had a bad sprain on my left knee , it twists out if I apply too much pressure. 2 weeks in recovering. But no plan on surgery yet , can't afford it

[@ShieldAndSoul]

Should I wear knee braces to work? I’m on my feet 8-10 hours a day and walking up stairs while heavy lifting has left me with tendinitis in both knees my doctor said and painful popping. I’ve done the Rice method but still in pain…more exercise?

[@SonamMD]

Many patients will choose to wear braces at work so it’s definitely a next step you can consider.

[@TheMysticalTurd]

My surgeon's PA told me yesterday that an unloader brace will permanently change my anatomy. Is that even true? Thanks!

[@SonamMD]

I’m not aware of that. But if you look at the history of osteoarthritis, there is a natural change in the anatomy as the cartilage starts to degrade. Ultimately these braces are trying to offload The joint that is strained because the cartilage has been worn down.
