Can this be used on your knee also?

It can be used really anywhere. I am not very happy with it. Does not really get hot enough to give relief.
282295
I've never used it for the knee, but it might provide some support for the back of the knee.

Well, it's shape is designed specifically for the neck and shoulders, and it would not stay on the knee unless one is sitting down, but the heat would work nicely, I imagine.

Although I have never used the unit on my knee, I see no reason why it would not work. The unit sends electrical impulses that contract any muscle, strengthening the muscle and increasing blood flow to the applied area.

I agree with the other answers. Depends on where the wounds are. Sounds like something under the knee might work better. You should talk to a physical therapist or your doctor for advice.

As long as you can fit it on the knee or lay it on there, I don't see why not. We have the universal one and we use it for everything.

I don't see why it would not. The great thing about the starter pads is they are much smaller than when you buy them separate, so adding them on the knees should be simple. Remember, the great perk of this device is you control the frequency so if its too strong, you can always turn the settings down to a more comfortable setting. I use this on my abs so I know you will be fine. For the price this cost, I honestly don't see how you can be disappointed. If you like I have a male friend who has bad knees. I can call him over and have him try it out, its not a issue as he works where I live. Let me know, and best wishes. I don't see why it would not.

Yes, but not real flexible if it has been in the freezer for a long time. My wife had knee surgery and we have been using the pack on it. While it can be bent around the knee easily, it is not real flexible. Lately we only leave it in the freezer for about 12 - 15 hours and it stays more flexible.

I would say no. The (green) ends are pliable, but not enough to bend around a knee.

It works very well on my knees. The heat and if you use the flat metal piece shown on the photo relieves pain. I hope this helps

It can, if you wear it too long and/or are sitting for any length of time. I would think that's true of any brace. I wear mine to play golf. I've learned to put it on AFTER I get to the course; and take it off immediately once I'm done playing. The first and only time I put it on at home and made the 20 minute drive to the course, it was quite uncomfortable. As an extreme example, I cannot imagine wearing any knee-brace on a flight of any significant length of time. Forget comfort, that has to be dangerous to your health.

I'm sure it will help somewhat. It works like tiger balm. However, the medication is on an elastic pad (like a bandaid) so I don't know how well the adhesive will work on a joint like a knee. Perhaps if you weren't moving. Hope that helps.

I think y u can use it. My dad uses it. So I donot know exactly. But this one can fit any fat or thin knees since it is freely wrapped

Not necessarily. I've used it while both kneeling and standing without any problems.

I would say no due to the material being so soft and the mesh knee has a lot of space before actually touching the knee cap. I would suggest a brace that has metal inserts on the sides to prevent kneecap dislocations. It is what is recommended. Hope this helps.

According to the instruction sheet, yes. I have only used it on my calf, but I see no reason that it can't be used on the thighs.

Yes. I stabilizes my knee allowing me to put some pressure on it. Definitely recommend.

It works best for knees, ankles, feet, wrists and elbows where you can wrap it around the joint. However I used it when I had my hip replacement; just had to sit or lie down and lay it over the part that hurts. It's much better than trying to use regular ice or a bag of peas.

I believe it would be good for that. However, it depends on how severe your condition is. I have found that it keeps things in place very well and comfortably, and it kept my knee from hurting during physical activity. Also if you wear it during physical activity it will significantly reduce the chances of getting water on the knee, and n last a lot longer without fatigue or pain. If you find that you need to wear it all of the time, I would recommend seeing a doctor.
