what does your physio say? That is the person who can tell you

The knee braces may make things more comfortable for you (only you know whether they do) and may reduce some of the wear and inflammation in your knees, but it won't reverse the existing joint damage. See how it goes. If it reduces the number of flare ups you're having, I'd say wear them as much as it feels comfortable to do. But as Sunneyside says, best have a chat with a physio to get a better idea.
