knee pain - hypermobile fibula head

The head of my right fibula has become unstable in relation to the knee joint and frequently clicks painfully out of place, particularly after I have been sitting for some time. I am making an effort to lose weight (I weigh nearly 300 pounds), but in the meantime, I wonder what sort of brace is likely to be most helpful.
