patellofemoral syndrome pain

[Trek420]

I usually only wear it when I know a considerable amount of walking is going to take place (i.e. not just between classes in the same building), or when my knee is really swollen/full of fluid. Then, it just feels good to have the pressure on my knee.

Just speaking for my knee since I have arth as well as structural issues warmth feels good. I've learned to tell what it is by the kind of pain I have; is it the arth, the structural issues or both. if it's the arth the knee aches, the sharp stabbing "I should not have done that move" is the ACL, tendons etc.

If it's the arth keeping the joint warm feels good however I do that; tights, leg warmers and even the brace. I imagine if I was only structural that would feel good too.

But that's my knee
