Melting down over lack of knee brace options

SpoilerHelpful Tips, Tricks, and Products

Hi, I have hEDS and am finally having to give into a knee brace. The problem is I have some extreme sensory issues due to neurodivergence and can not stand to wear most braces. I've torn my right meniscus before and I'm worried I've retorn it. (Don't worry, I'm seeing a Dr. I just need somthing to get me by until insurence kicks in)

There's only one type of brace that I can find that actually claims to help specifically hypermobility. I've added a photo of it. The only legit site that carrys this style has it listed for almost $200. Amazon and wal mart have it listed for around 40 but the actual sellers both seem fake without many reviews.

Wondering what other people have tried. Has anyone tried this specific shaped brace? Just for further info, I cant do compression sleeves due to pain and have already tried the bracibility shorty knee brace. Thank you in advance 💜
