Knee brace?

[Northrup113]

Hi! I am not sure if I am posting this in the correct category, if not, my apologies. I am 60 and have been "enjoying" Osteoarthritis in my left knee, basically bone on bone. Girlfriend and I are going to WDW in Sept. (planning ahead here). Has anyone used some type of knee brace that will not melt in the heat? I do not want it to make the knee worse just help when/if needed. Are any of them breathable? What worked for you? any brands you recommend? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I am in a similar situation. I like Dr Brace which my ortho recommended. Check Amazon. Also, pack a foldable cane.

I will look into that. My ortho is pushing for a knee replacement! Um, not yet!!! I have a feeling just being in Disney will lessen the discomfort!!
