Best leg brace

katrina0710

I have osteoarthritis in left shoulder right knee right hip( also other places but these are the worst) for approx 3 years and I have just had emergency bowel surgery and now cant take Naproxen, Zappain Amtryptolyne which I was reliant on to ease the pain. I have also been taken off the waiting list for replacement shoulder/knee surgery as I am deemed temporarily unfit. I need a good support for my right knee as I am really struggling to walk. There are so many braces out on the market but need some recommendations if possible. Also if anyone has a good shoulder support they could recommend. Many thanks
