I am hoping for some experienced input from
this board or a referral to another group that might be able to help.

My first pads were the cheap foam rubber things at Lowe's ($4/pair). They
were so much better than nothing. I later upgraded to the AWP monster knee
pads ($20 at Lowe's). These are much much better and totally elimate the
shooting pains I get when my knee cap mashes directly on a hard floor. The
wide elastic straps are a lot more comfortable, too.
