Suggest The Types Of Knee Braces For Arthritis
My doctor said that she will write a script or fill our a form for an arthritis brace. I have severe arthritis in both of my knees. I want a brace that can go under my pants. I love to walk and I have a job that requires me to be on my feet on the weekends. My doctor said that I would need a brace that covers above and below my knee. She also said that I need a hinge and have adjustable straps. Do I really need a hinge? My insurance said that they cover up to $500. If it is over, than I need an approval from my doctor.
