Hi

CL0901

I have osteoarthritis in my hands & one knee. I’ve had a trapeziectomy on both hands, which worked brilliantly. However, my left knee is 😖 The pain is on the inside of my knee rather than the kneecap & I have constant pain despite painkillers & Voltarol. I wondered about a knee support, does anyone have any suggestions ?

Thanks 😊

Ellen

Hi @CL0901 Welcome to the online community.

I see you have had Osteoarthritis in your hands and now have pain in your left knee. You are querying whether to try a knee brace. I wonder whether this thread might help:

In addition maybe a quick read of this link might be of interest to you:

Sounds just what you don't need @CL0901

Would it be worth seeing the Dr about in case it's something other than Osteoarthritis?

Just a though

Take care
