try the recommended exercises first. I was kinda hoping to wait until the pain was reduced but it's been two weeks like this so I'm not sure I'll see any pain reduction. I did buy the knee brace which feels good when I walk but after awhile it feels too tight but is very hard to remove. This is all so new to me.
