Just as a friendly FYI ...

If you end up with a sports-related injury, the place to go to get the sports-related braces is, of course, a sports-related store. (In this particular case: Sports Authority, which has quite the selection of I-hurt-myself-fix-it-please things.)

After four days, I finally have braces that fit and are specifically designed for chondromalacia patella, among other things. Woo?

By the way, I might be small, but apparently I'm big, too. I need the large/xl braces. o_O The s/m braces do not fit around my thighs. {:
