Last year I began jogging everyday and after about two months of it my rheumatoid arthritis kicked in and my knee swelled up to the point of not being able to bend it. Currently I do lower impact cardio activities but I really enjoyed running and I want to start again. Does anyone know of a good knee brace that will potentially help with the high impact of running so that it does not cause too much stress on my knee?

I actually have a leg deformity that causes my leg to dislocate whenever I run. I bought Futuro Sports Brace and it keeps my knee balanced and in check. Rheumatoid arthritis causes swelling and inflammation, not dislocations however. So I’m not sure if there is such a brace.
Best of wishes,
