so i tweaked my knee a few weeks ago, and im going skiing tomorrow with a brace. i've been wearing it around to get used to wearing it, and it feels really tight right in the back of my knee where the material bunches up when i bend it. would it be a bad idea to remove like 1 inch of material across the back so it doesn't bunch up? its a cheaper brace so if i completely fuck it up its not a huge deal

The back of mine is adjustable which is pretty nice have you tried that?

Honestly that will do next to nothing for your knee for future tweekings. That would be used for light support and rehab circumstances.

i know. im gonna order a good one but this was the only one i could find within walking distance in boulder. it will be better than nothing. plus my knee doesnt feel that bad, i just want a little extra support
