I am not sure if the wrap is a cure for a meniscus injury yet? I think I have a small meniscus injury and I can say this wrap has been incredibly helpful. I use it five times a day with ice. I can say that am really grateful for this wrap. I was in so much pain before I found it and now after using this wrap I have gotten rid of the pain and swelling. The reason I cannot say it can heal a meniscus tear is because I am still not sure if this type of injury and be healed without surgery. I am hoping so but I don't have enough information yet. Bottom line this is a fantastic tool for a joint injury or muscle pain. I am not sure if the wrap is a cure for a meniscus injury yet?

The ActiveWrap has two gel freeze packs which go on each side of the knee, this will provide for relief of pain and if you decide to have surgery, it will help you afterwards also. The way to determine the size is to measure your thigh and order accordingly, which will probably be small or medium.

I'm not a doctor but it helps for swelling. I'm 5'9" of average weight and I bought the Small-Medium and it fits perfectly.

I had previously bought one at a sports store but needed a second one for my other knee(the store only had one left) so I knew what size fit me. if possible go to a sports store that sells this product and try it on to see what size fits best

Marguerite, since your situation involves several surgeries, I would consult with your doctor on this. It worked for my knee, but then my knee was just sore and my situation did not involve surgery. Make sure that if you use this cream it will not complicate any recovery for you. Take care.

I'm 5'5 and it works for me. I think that would be the correct size for you. It has really helped my back.

In my opinion, I think this size would be perfect for you. I am 5'8" and I think it is a little small for me.

This size was way too big for me, Dawn. I bought it large because I had a lot of swelling after total knee arthroplasty. Now my knee is 15" in the middle of the knee, 14" just below, and 15 1/4 just above. I'd go for the medium. I'm 5'10" and weigh 137. Hope this helps you decide.

I'm also 5'7" and ordered the female version, but have an average length torso. I can't say for sure, but I have a feeling the female version would be okay for you. Hope this helps!

I'm not sure what the numerical size is since I didn't measure my knee but I can promise you that it WILL fit just about any large knee. I'm 6 feet 4 and weigh around 310 and I was afraid this wrap wouldn't fit. Not only did it fit but there was (is) plenty of room to spare. It's very comfortable. I hope this helps.

Sounds like you need the xl Just a tip, because the knee I needed the brace for was swollen from the post surgery, I measured my other knee for the true knee size. Yes it was a little tight at first but now I can wear it all day no problems. I find though it's more comfortable over a sleeve. As this creates a barrier between your skin and the brace. Hope this helps you out.

Hi- Happy to help, if I can. I ordered a S/M and I am an averaged sized woman. It is very comfortable and really, really did help me. If you are a man, I would go up to the M/L size. Hope this helps. Deb

My knee is of similar size and have fairly thick thighs as well as large calves. This sleeve is very comfortable as far as size and I have never had an issue of slipping. My knee brace is the same size and you just need to make sure it is secured as it should be. Too loose and you lose your support anyway.

I use the the 5mm knee sleeve for basketball and running. It has allowed me to return to these activities without the pain that was shutting me down. I'm almost positive that this sleeve would offer the same pain reduction and support for tennis.

It was not big enough for my knee and was useless for my knee. I weigh 200. Might work for smaller size weight.

I would not recommend this size. It's perfect for the back but does not confirm well to the knee. I have the smaller rectangular ones with a Velcro strap. If you have 2 if them you can use them both. That should give you good cold coverage. They stay cold for about 30 minutes. Good luck.

Well I am 6ft 250lb and I play ice hockey and lacrosse with this brace and I am very happy and satisfied with the support. It is a wee bit thicker than my old knee brace, but not nearly as big as a medical brace. Best of luck to you.

Hi these tights will help you for vein support and I think you should order a small size because of you height. I'm 5'4" and 100lbs and the XS was the right size for me but for your height a small will be ok for you
