Norma, I commend you on having two activities that you love to do. I just have a few questions. How far do you walk before you get knee pain? how long is the Zumba class?

I would recommend doing less and build up to y our best distance or time with Zumba.

applying a brace or a wrap may give you a "false" security and could harm your body.

keep up the good work.

Not what you're looking for?
