My knee felt SO good at the gym today! I have permission from my PT to go "braceless" at the gym from now on. It was amazing how much more normal I felt without that thing on. I started doing a new stretch for my quad/top of my knee.. I lie on my stomach and with my legs at 90 degrees I cross my good leg over the bad one and gently push my heel toward my butt. It has helped a bunch. Even went down some stairs today without pain.
