I just had my third knee surgery ... They have completely removed the meniscus underneath the patella. Additionally, I have osteo-arthritis fairly bad ...

Any recommendations on bracing? medications? exercises?

Post surgery? Shouldn't need a brace unless there is residual instability. Meds should include tylenol or anti-inflammatories only on an as needed basis for pain or swelling. Exercises for sure and best deteremined in conjunction with a good physical therapist.
