Save your money. I tried the braces and they didn’t help. Get the injections and try and ride a bike as much as possible to get ready for knee replacement. The better shape you are in prior to replacement the easier your rehab will be post surgery. Prepare now for surgery. Get a walker, Kodiak ice machine to chill your knees, raise your bed few inches, get a toilet seat raise and handles in your shower/bathtub, get resistance bands and use now to build up muscle strength.
My knee was replaced 14 months ago and I can now finally say I m happy it was done. Some people will say they are pleased within 3 months, everyone is different so don’t get discouraged.
