Knee brace that can be worn for long periods(12 hours)?

So I am in the oilfield again, and am noticing a problem with knee pain going up and down the stairs. I was 82nd Airborne for a few years, and RTB before that, so I have the requisite knee pain from it.

Pain around the kneecap, patellar tendonitis is the most probable cause. I tried the mcdavid braces that wrap around the knee and velcro in place, but got quarter sized blisters on the back of my knees after a 12 hour shift. I need something that will give the pressure above and below the kneecap required to eliminate the pain without taking skin off.

Anyone have any suggestions?
