Knee sleeve

 In order not to trigger my bursitis I have been methodically increasing my left leg stride, both forward and behind. That increases my knee snapping. Which one of my physical therapists should have told me about and what to do about it. Hell, there have been 10 million survivors a year for a long time. At least a few of them have had this problem and solved it. It should have been put in that public database of all stroke protocols and research.  So I bought a knee sleeve, not the pull on kind since I thought that might be a problem pulling on one handed depending on how tight it was. So I got a velcro one, which I have to use my right knee to hold it in place while I fasten it down. 

There is a hot or cold pack that can be inserted over the patella.
 

It works pretty well, snapping is considerably reduced.
