Default Taping the knee

So, at PT today, the therapist taped my patella into the right position. My pain went away almost immediately, even though it is a little awkward to walk around with the tape on. She gave me some tape and I am going to attempt to do this on Friday when I work next.

Yeah I figured the good ol painters tape might not work in this scenario.

OK, so there are two different types of tape that are on my knee. One is regular medical tape, and the other is this brown tape that is stronger and can actually hold my patella in place. I can't seem to find the brown tape anywhere.

With the brace on:

for those that are concerned, I don't shave my legs, I wax them, so that is why there is a bit of regrowth there.

wow, it's right on the patella, I thought it would be above and below or left and right. what do I know? :shrug

not going to mention the hair...

edit: you might want to try hair wax rather than Carnuba auto wax. :)

Think CVS/Rite-Aid type place might have that tape?

, the hair has to be a certain length before it can be waxed. It's right about tiem to wax again.

Walgreen's by me didn't seem to have the tape. I can check CVS, but I am suspecting I may need to go to a speciality store.
