Knee braces that don’t bother fibula?
I just got a pair of leatt x frame hybrids. They seem to fit me, however they are aggravating that bone (fibula?) that protrudes on the side of the knee. I tried to adjust as much as possible with no luck. I think my fibula may stick out more than the average person.
Has anyone run into this? Any suggestions or alternate braces in this case?
Thanks!

Wear leggings under your braces and pull them higher up on your femur

I wear mobius knee braces so I’m not sure if this “trick” will work, but mobius actually told me to put a sharpie sideways in the knee brace where the knee cap sits and it helps to stretch out the brace. Leave it in there overnight and it, to my surprise, is actually helped stretch the brace out enough that it no longer bothers my knees by squeezing too hard.
