Default Larger Sized Knee Braces

I wasn't entirely sure that this doesn't belong under the Rehab and Injuries topic...but it's specific to someone who has larger legs/knees...

I like many people my size have some knee problems, and am working around them. Mine are largely due to my former trainer deciding that it was a good idea to let a newbie, 300+ pound woman do 60lb squats.

Long story short I am trying to find a really good knee brace that will help me stabilize my knee. I am not doing any squatting or anything of that nature right now, but when walking on a treadmill (walking at all) or when I'm on the spin bike I feel like I need some extra support.

Does anyone know if there is a specific brand that runs larger sizes? Or does anyone use knee braces and could maybe point me in the right direction?

There are lots of braces out there, I recently purchased a few, but they don't seem to really work for me...they roll down to the knee cap and generally don't work well. We measured my knee and it's about 23'.

Just thought I would put it out there! Thank you!
