Do I really need a bra for the elderly?

It's a bit scary when I mention my injured knee in a post here and then get "fix your knee" ads for several days.
But bras for the elderly? First of all, I consider myself "middle aged," and will try to be "middle aged" for the rest of my days.
Second of all, I was able to look beneath my Winnie the Pooh belly this morning and verify that I male, as I always have been.
My legs are kind of weak right now (no cycling), but my chest and arms are still pretty strong. I do not have "man boobs."
I suppose I'm going to have to go visit L.L. Bean and Guitar Center (and Parts Express, which sells raw speaker building materials) online and get my targeted ads in order.
Do you ever get really silly ads here and elsewhere?

All the time. Some are just ridiculous. I turn 62 tomorrow and still consider myself middle aged too. Saturday I joined you in the injured leg club. Not real sure what happened. It’s my left thigh.

@TheHorse Could be. I had an electrolyte drink today and it is somewhat better.

Have you started going to physical therapy?? I recommend going though it means pain. I am currently attempting to get my thigh muscles to be strong enough to keep me walking. The stronger my leg muscles, the easier time I will have when I move into knee surgery. Yes that huge train is headed my way.

Interesting discussion, but my response is simple; why not?

Tell you what yes, they are helpful bras for elderly females. I was having difficulty getting my arms behind my back to hook a bra. Then I looked at what they offered and I got a great simple bra with no supports of any kind for comfort and I hook it in front, So easy now to close a bra. I hope your knees starts feeling better,
