Help Finding a Specific Knee Brace

Help Finding a Specific Knee Brace

My mother has had pain in her leg for about 4 months now. It started in her ankle/lower calf region and worked its way up to her knee (causing swelling) making it difficult to walk, especially on stairs. Now, she finally went to see a decent doctor this past Friday.

He drained her swelling knee, prescribed a stand-up MRI w/o contrast (I'm not so happy about that, as I heard open MRI is not as good as regular MRI), and told her to wear a "Open Patella Knee Brace with Lateral Pad Support and "super pattern/patella strap elastic" (couldn't understand the doctor's damn handwriting).

So...basically I'm looking for a link if anyone can provide me with a good site to buy this knee brace. Please let me know. Thank You.

Call the doctor and ask is the brace to be custom fitted? if it should be then ask the doctor to recommend a limb and brace Co.
