Is it safe to do band if I wear a knee brace? It has been around a month since it tore. I have little to no swelling, and I am able to walk a fair amount of distance without pain. However, my knee is still weak and still gives out at any random moment. I have stopped working my legs out at the gym (I still do treadmill, just not weights) because if I do I can not walk. The knee will give out at least 1-2 times a day, and when i first wake up I cant move my leg. I did not discover this tear until I started working with a physical trainer, who had me do "ski jumps" and I collapsed to the ground, and was told to go to the doctor. Marching band is from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m the first week, and 8 a.m. to 9p.m. the second. Is it safe to march?
