Hypermobile legs and bracing (KAFOS?)

I am super hyper-mobile and I am struggling with the limited support I feel is being given to me for my legs- I have only had a few appointments with my PT but my legs are VERY weak and sore; they shake uncontrollably when being stretched even the slightest due to the pain and weakness being so severe.

My PT is aware of hypermobility but I fear they won’t help me unless I ask. I was hoping for some form of bracing (something like KAFOS idk) for my instability.

I miss living life and going for nice walks but I think my legs just keep getting weaker. I can only make it around the short block without severe pain. Today I REALLY overdid it,

Today I had an emergency appointment for legal health documents and had to walk 1km to get them which hurt sooo badly. When I got to our porch I collapsed.

What’s the best way to bring this up? I am someone who is not great at communication and I don’t know how to ask without sounding desperate?? Idk 🤷🏻 I’m tired and just want to feel free again. I need to get my strength back too.

Also any tips for taping with KT? I’m not great at it- my PT showed me but I forgot..

Apparently my TV is too high & everyone is letting me know

I was on another subreddit and was told my TV looks too high.. honestly I think it’s my bed that’s too low.. I normally watch tv laying down or sitting against the wall but it doesn’t bother me 😂 🤷🏻
