I should mention my knees are always trouble for me too. Going up down stairs, sometimes just walking. But it comes and goes for me. I couldn't do a squat if my life depended on it.

FWIW, I found some terrific knee braces (the stabilizer type) in "Footsmart," which has both catalog and on-line sales, and these have saved my knees and made my workouts possible. I'm 50, have pretty torn-up knees after years of workouts, athletics, etc., and used to have custom braces, but could no longer afford the $$$. The ones I bought from the Foot Smart folks have vertical stabilizers on each side of the knee, an open patella, and use velcro to secure the wraps. I use these whether I'm power-walking, using my spin bike or my ancient wooden nordic-track, I even use them when sliding, so they are very adaptable. You might want to try something like this, you certainly could use them for rebounding.

Like some of you I had trouble with my DD+ cup so instead of jumping I would jog on it.

Have you "mammarily gifted" ladies tried sportsbras from Athletica or Title 9? I highly recommend both, these stores (again, both online and catalog) use on-line customer service reps who KNOW what they are doing, AND are athletic, so understand the unique needs with regard to workout bras. You could also try BraSmythe, although I don't know if they are on-line, but they absolutely specialize in bras for the more "zaftig" among us (not my problem, but both my sister and my bro's wife are boobily-gifted).
Lastly, you rebounders - keep on bounding. Exercise is never exactly "easy," per se, but it certainly gets easier with time and the results are worth it!!!
HTH,
