Why can't you wear a regular knee brace at night?
Question:
Answers:
Have you ever had a blister or a cut, that you wanted to keep covered all the time, but your doctor told you that it was okay to give it a little bit of air every now and then. The knee braces acts the same way. When you wear it it helps to keep it in line and to reduce stress on the joint. Although you would think to wear it all the time, it is best to give those joint a complete rest on their own, because the brace can also put stress on the joint. It is best to keep it off at night, you dont need it you are just sleeping. But if it hurts, then i would say invest in an ace bandage and loosely wrap it at night just to keep some pressure on it. Hope this helps!
