Can you not get a video consult with a private specialist or physio? Braces are very personal thing, I have OA (tricompartment but lateral is worse) and am using a Donjoy OA nano, light with reasonable give. I consulted a Donjoy trained physio and then a Donjoy rep who fitted the braceWhat symptoms do you have? Is the knee unstable? I initially tried an ACL brace out but it was extremely uncomfortable (as that’s what the Hyksos had in my size), far too rigid as designed to support a knee that is unstable rather than slightly misaligned (valgus in my case).I wouldn’t go ahead and get an expensive brace without a proper conversation. Can you get a decent neoprene one to cover you for a month or two until you can get an X-ray to confirm whether there’s arthritis, loss of joint space etc? How are your knees aligned, if you stand with feet together, for example, do they touch (valgus) or bow (Varus) ?
