Does this cause discomfort behind the knee when walking? I want to use it for bike riding &amp; running but haven't been able to find one that doesnt hurt

No discomfort noticeable. But I had a very difficult time keeping it up. Might try a size smaller than you think.

Hi there...I use it for running and it's an amazing help. So much so that I bought a second one so I can use them on both knees. However, for squats or deadlifts I think they'd be uncomfortable. But again, I just use them for running so I can't ay for sure.

It stabilizes lateral movement of the knee, which occurs when I walk on uneven surfaces or shifts weight from one leg to the other. If you are overweight, it will not eliminate the knee pain from excess weight on the knee. My doctor tells me to lose some weight.

I think they do make a pad that slips over the knee area, but if you or someone you know are a little crafty, you could get some seat cusion batting in the craft dept. at Wmrt and make one. Or you could tie a thick towel onto the knee area and try that, it won't look the prettiest but might relieve some of the discomfort. My knee bothered me at first, but now not so much. If you are on it for an extended time, it will get a little uncomfortable. Hope this helps.

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.

Yes, the walker allows the arms to help take weight off the knees while walking ---&gt; less pain. You should also check out Treat Your Own Knee Arthritis - ex's will help a lot too.

No, not really, since you got a knee protector that goes higher then the knee cap, and just walking around with them will make it uncomfortable. those knee shin pads protector are made for cycling and motorbike riding since you have your legs bent and the knee shin pads protector will fit perfectly over your knee cap whille protecting the higher part of your knee cap. i use those knee shin protector while riding my electric mountain bike going up to 60 km/h in the trails and since i've had them, they protected my knees and shins quite well after those wipe outs. hope those info helped you.

Thanks so much! I am looking for something light weight and portable to use when traveling to keep good ROM in my stiff-after-knee-replacement knee. I use a stationary bike at home and hope this would do for short term use on the road. Would you agree that it would?

My knee is swollen so it rolls down if I put it on the whole way, but it rolls less than any other I have tried. I use the smaller ones in place of support hose...(up to the knee)...they are easier to put on and never roll. Futuro gives more support than others.

I have a bad back condition and I find this seat to be very comfortable and doesn't interfere with my back. As as far as your knee, I can't see how it would interfere with your seating, as nothing is in your way when you are sitting on it.

I have Osteoarthritis in my left knee. I have checked the reviews and their pretty damn good. I'm interested in purchasing this unit. I would like to know if this will help my left knee especially since its bone on bone. Kindly advise.

No. I have been wearing it for support and my knee does hurt less when I walk around but it will not make your knee stronger. If you want to strengthen the muscles around your knee you will have to turn to careful exercise. Perhaps a couple of visits to a physical therapist to show you how to isolate the muscles and strengthen them without causing further damage.

I don't know if it will fit your knee or not, but mine does fit --- but I can't get up and walk, without it slipping down. But it does feel good while on the knee.

Yes, I have the same problem in my right knee and that is why I bought these. While the knee can still be in pain, it prevents further irritation and allows me to move comfortably.

I really never had a problem with it being uncomfortable on my knee. I had on a cast that "cut" into my leg because there wasn't enough padding at the top edge. I just stuck more padding along the top edge and it was fine. I'm still using it once in awhile now, with the cast off, and it is as comfortable as can be.

I tried mine on two different people and it just can't seem to stay put. I suggest you find one that has a knee insert. Like a hole where you can fit the ball of your knee in.

No. I find that it doesn't work while walking. I had hoped that it would. :( I actually don't like it at all. And, have only worn it once.
