Is this good for pain (knee) or is there a stronger/better recommendation?

It's great for knee pain especially if its related to the joints or muscles. Our homeopath in England recommended always aking it with Arnica 6X tablets for physical issues

It didn't do a thing for me. I guess it's more for bruising, not so much for pain.

The pain in my knees joints seem to be improving. I have taken many different over the counter drugs but this one seems to be the best. Thanks..

I'm 80, and wear it every day. The age of the wearer shouldn't make any difference. It's the need of the user. The Kneedit has provided me lots of help. for a torn ACL and lack of cartilage in my knee.

It could be if one can keep it from rolling down at the top. And finding a good fit can be tricky. I use a Mueller knee brace mostly for my knee which provides excellent support. Have also used an ACE knee brace, but prefer the Mueller. Good luck.

I have no idea about that. I doubt it. Try Zyfalmend, which is sold thru Amazon at a very good price--cheaper than you can get at a Whole Foods, etc. store. Some folks have really good luck with Zyflamend and it was recommended to me through a well known herbalist. Look at the reviews for Zyflamend on Amazon--that is a good start. Good luck with that knee!

This item helps with pain. But it is only light support. If you have a lot of main you need more support. You might want to check with your doctor. Thank you

Yes works great I use it for my knee pain to. Set it to 15 min and choose random option.

Check the ingredients. Glucosamine is best with condroitin and should be at least 1500 mg gluc. and 1200 mg cond. But be aware that they're big. My orthopedist also recommended an addition of 500mg NEM ( natural eggshell membrane) sold separately which has seemed to help my knees. You can Google it.

I agree with beach sitter. I feel this supplement has helped my osteoarthritis in my knee....After 3 injections of Orthovisc. ~10 years ago, I had Meniscus surgery which prompted my osteoarthritis. It has been 6 mos. since my injections. Not hot to trot for A knee replacement. Take Aleve/Advil. Ice my knee. Good luck to all, <3

This is pure Arnica oil, the effectiveness for me is minimal. I have severe arthritis pain in bith knees and my right hip, I take pain pills, tylenol arthritis, and I use topical lotions. The most effective has been Topricin, and extra strength emu cream. The oil is greasy, of course, and does not seem to give me relief.

It does help the minor pain in my knees. Don't know about major pain issues.

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.

Better ask a physical therapist because I do not know how it would help knees being hard and and unbendable. I use it to sit upon and when I do exercises where I put my feet upon it. It is great for standing upon and balancing.

Yes - but don't forget pain-relieving exercises too - books like Treat Your Own Knee Arthritis, Treat Your Own Hand and Thumb Osteoarthritis, or Treat Your Own Spinal Stenosis are a good place to start. As far as research, here's a bit of what I found: ---a 2009 review of available studies concluded that glucosamine sulfate, glucosamine hydrochloride, and chondroitin sulfate used individually only inconsistently decreases arthritis pain. However, many studies have confirmed arthritis pain relief when you take glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate together. ---studies have consistently reported that glucosamine appears safe ---a review by Bruyere et al. about glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate for the treatment of knee and hip osteoarthritis concludes that both products act as valuable symptomatic therapies for arthritis and have some potential structure-modifying effects ---the OsteoArthritis Research Society International is recommending chondroitin sulfate as the second-most-effective treatment for moderate cases of osteoarthritis ---the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) supports using chondroitin sulfate in the management of knee osteoarthritis

It support the knee well when I have to get up and down. I don't feel pain unless I have to put weight on my knees. So I really don't think it's going to help much with the pain. It does keep the knees nice and warm.

I prefer Tripernol, because it is oil in a gelcap, not powder in a capsule (which I have also used alternating with Tripernol). Both forms seem to be effective in helping eliminate my right knee pain. I like what I have read about Tripernol's careful production methods and that it was used in a study which showed improvement in asthma patients' lung function in addition to its anti-arthritis benefits.
