i have a bad right knee, it hurts on the left side of my kneecap, like the inside of the knee. it hurts when i lock my knee out, and it hurts a lot more when i bend my knee.
first question:
WHAT KNEE BRACE SHOULD I TRY?
it started hurting about three weeks ago. i told my mom and dad that i needed to get it looked at, but they said that i'll be fine. you see, i'm in cheerleading, volleyball, softball, and track. it's not that i get hurt a lot, it's just that something differnt hurts at each practice. but this knee thing, it's been a constant pain, even when i'm not tumbling, running, jumping, ect. so when i'm just laying in bed, it hurts.
second question:
HOW DO I GET MY PARENTS TO LET ME GO TO THE DOCTOR?
thanks, and sorry if it's confusing.

I had to get surgery last spring because of my knee. You should really get it checked out. It started to hurt me again, so I went back to the doctor and it turns out I need another surgery. I wouldn't have even known if I didn't go to the doctor. He'll tell you what brace that you need, I use a Don Joy brace, but I don't know if we even have the same knee conditions, so your best bet is to get a recommendation from your doctor.

It started giving me problems last year when I started high school! i got a special kind of knee brace for the condition of wats wrong w/ my knee. You do need to go to a doctor to get it checked out. Becuz, with my knee, the brace and the pills they gave me arent working, so i might have to have surgery.... This is a very serious matter, get it checked out ASAP! Good luck! hope it turns out ok!
