For some reason, it's not on the internet. :? It's a Nexcare Adjustable moderate support knee brace. Neoprene, cut out for the knee cap, 3 straps for adjustability to stabilize and compress. Seems to be helping. I've been trying to keep my leg up as much as possible (today more so than yesterday since Brian is home) and I ice it before bed. I'm definitely calling the orthopedist tomorrow.

From what I was reading, it could be an MCL injury. But likely not serious. Then again, it's not like this is my area of expertise.

Thanks for the tips! I'm hoping it really isn't, but you're right that I should get it checked out. Just to be safe. As much as it sucks.

Wish we could get Mags out on the hill today but even if Brian does take her, I don't think I'm up to walking around the base with the boy on my back today.

Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever. ~ Lance Armstrong
