Hi. I have a bruce in my left knee. Which has gone worst due to running and the enlinement of my bone structure. Is there any special brace you have,

I bought this brace hoping my elderly father could use it but since he doesn't live with me, I didn't think he could follow the instructions by himself. So I returned it. Never tried it. Maybe someone else can answer your question.

Yes. And most of my pain from surgery 2 years ago on my right knee has abated dramatically. I can now RUN 4 miles a day and training is possible for a 7K race. I'm 65.

More or less. I wear two braces, I put them both on each night. You can get used to it. The alternative is not having any brace at all, and suffering pain.

Yes I use the brace when I play softball and it does not impede my ability to run.The brace provides stability and I found it to be sturdy and not rigid like some other braces that I previously used.

Not being a doctor, I can't say for sure. However, I'd think not; that you'd need an articulated brace with hinged metal supports. This brace is equipped with metal springs that permit a full range of motion while providing compression and stabilization.I'd also advise being seen by a qualified physician rather than simply relying on external support for an unstable joint. Whatever the underlying problem, the condition may worsen if not correctly and completely treated.Best wishes.

Personally I used the brace for support while playing basketball. It was relatively comfortable and gave me a lot of side-to-side stability while still allowing full forward and backward movements.

This is a great brace. It doesn't fit in shoes. It's very adjustable and gives great support. I wear it around the house doing housework with my slippers on. When working in the yard I wear it with my husbands crocks however it gives great support for a very bad arthredic ankle. I use the Alpha Medical Compression Suport Ankle Brace in my regular shoes and sneakers when working out!

I wish I could answer this for you. I have to have a knee replacement and the custom brace made it difficult to wear long pants. Also, I got pulled over through all securities with the custom brace. I have bone against bone. It does give me support so that I do not turn my knee in an awkward position. I think your orthopedic doctor could give good advice on this one. Pat W

There is support with this brace. When I wear it my knee doesn't "pop" like it does when I am not using a brace. I do believe it does give the support needed from a sitting to standing position. If you need a lot of support then a hinged brace might work better to keep your knee stabilized.

One does have to be careful with any sholder brace. My wife got a "frozen sholder" and had to get xrays and visit an orthopedic surgeon to cure that. Sholder braces are not safe.

I have a similar condition and I love this brace. It supports but gives good flexibility. Buy one size bigger than what they say though. I will buy again when I need a new one.

I am not into running but I would think that it would cause a problem. I purchased mine as a result of the pain I was experiencing playing Golf. This brace was a lifesaver as far as playing golf was concerned. I have suggested to a couple of my golfing buddies and would suggest it for anyone with knee problems.

truthfully, if your hands are that bad & in pain if bumped....you need to see an orthopedic hand specialist. I don't think type of brace will help. good luck!

I had knee replacement, both knees. They do not hurt but "tire" very quickly and I do not spend much timebetween chairs. I wonder if copper knee sleeves would help ?????????????? RDS

The brace is designed to be locked in numerous positions. I bought this as a post op brace to keep it locked straight, then release it to reach the pedals in the car. The brace I received kept unlocking on one side. I contacted the company and they promptly sent another. Unfortunately, I experienced the same issues with the second. That being said, it was the best brace I used (of 3). They all suck.

I actually sent it back and got a golds back brace which is softer and fully adjustable, I use it for gold tennis and walking so sure it could be used for running as well

The insert for your Left foot isn't necessary...I think; unless you used the brace to walk around all day. If you use if for sports like I do, there's not a significant difference. I play basketball and do boot camp workouts with my right brace on, I don't see difference with not have an insert on the Left foot too. I assume it's b/c I'm running/jumping/climbing and my weight is never resting on one foot more than another for any extended period of time. But, If I was walking and standing all day, like at work, than I think it'd be necessary to get an insert to distribute weight evenly and to keep from having hip issues or, in an extreme case, have one longer leg than the other. :-) If you're uncomfortable or nervous, just buy a cheap Dr. Scholls heel cup and see how it works.
