Does the material cause pinching behind the knee after extended wear?

I wear the knee sleeves for more than 2 hours at a time and have had no discomfort.

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.

it is closed in the back of the brace. it is one piece and has to be pulled on over yourfoot. So sorry it will rub the back of your knee.

I've been usingine since March and haven't had problems with the rubber stretching. However. I really don't take it off alot.

While initially tight, I found the sleeves to be comfortable with additional wearing. The sleeve is graduated so you have some flexibility to adjust it with your hand inside the stocking. My leg is 15 inches round and heavy under the knee, but I could adjust the top to address my leg size.

Recommendation from a friend with a similar knee problem. The one I chose has been great. The only complaint I have is that periodically the cushion on the back of my knee moves and then the strap rubs the skin.

I have a larger leg circumference so that affects the surface area accomdoated. The contact points for me are just a bit to the outside of the knee cap itself. If you are experiencing pain directly on the knee cap or below it (i.e. shin area) this would likely cause a dilemma for you, otherwise you would be alright I would think. If it is in the area that would create a dilemma, (lamentably I have had pain there too!) I have used a standard ice pack with an ace bandage. Best of luck

I would sum up the answer by saying that this is the best armor to protect your shin and your knee that I found on the market at this time. The rubbing spots that I found when I first started using these pads has gone away. It appears that this armor has adjusted to my legs shape so that I do not get any more areas that rub or irritate my skin. I do find it helps to wear high socks so there's less of a chance of any rubbing at the lower strap area.

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

Not after while, but for example after 2 hours wearing - sometimes it hurts.

Yes. I have a problem with my knee buckling but not since I started wearing the brace.

Yes, there is stretch around the leg portion. The plastic will give pretty much as well.

no, I only used mine once and it gets in the way of your knees, I would have returned it but my girlfriend uses it in another application

No, this knee brace is closed all around from top to bottom, except for the knee cap opening. Good for support, but quite confining when one needs to have feet on floor , as in sitting position. And although this design is really good for support, it is hot to wear, especially in hot weather or when very active for long periods of time, and it does chaff a bit even with a hose type sleeve under it. Based on your description for use, probably would not want this particular design. Regards.

Yes, the cold is totally around the knee. At first I found that it wasn't as cold as at physio, but then I increased the cold level in the freezer.

This brace isn't open in the back of the knee. The material used is pretty comfortable and so far I haven't had any issues with this brace.

Thanks for visiting our store! The kneecap opening measures about 3" un-stretched and about 4" when fully stretched (but still able to securely close the wrap over the knee). This wrap has a dual function and can be used to either warm or chill the knee area as needed.Yes item should chill the area around the opening
