Answers:
In what way does your knee bother your? The only way that tape is gonna help is if there is a problem with the tracking of the knee cap (known as patellofemoral syndrome). Then you would need a knowledgeable professional to properly tape your knee with kinesiotape to correct the tracking problem. With your rib, athletic tape wrapped around the torso in the region of the fractured rib can help. You really should have your knee looked at by an orthopedic doctor to determine the exact problem so that you can get appropriate treatment.
