Yes ! I have water in my knee and the pain and joints are similar to LCL which Locks, Catches and Gives Away I use this brace when I am out walking and in the house. You can also run with it on as well.

I really believe it depends on how far your knee has deteriorated. If it is to the point of surgery, nothing will help. If you're looking for a cure. forget it. If it's average pain relief, then it may help. It sure doesn't hinder.

Yes I believe it will be helpful. I had an injured knee on top of the normal arthitis pain and as a consequence the knee hurt at rest or in movement. Someone recommended Kytta Salbe and it was wonderful. I keep it in my handbag in case there is a flare up.

Not that I know of but have to ask the manufacturer. Per my experience I've found it to be a huge help for: faster soft tissue recovery from sprains, strains, tears, soreness, bruising, or just joint or muscle weakness. Can be use as prevention to add strength or support to an area of shoulders, arms, legs or back for sport or physical effort of many types.

I don't have knee pain myself, but page 18 of the Instruction Manual shows how to place the pads for knee treatment, so yes, the unit is designed to work for knee pain.

I would think so although I have never used it for my knee, it helps a great deal with my shoulder, hip and back.

I haven't used it on my knees but the booklet says it can be used for that. They even show a picture of how to position the pads.

This product is not hard on your knees, but with that said I do not have knee issues. My husband does and he likes it because it is not hard on his knees. I use the treadmill and others - and am on the upper weight as well. I would always advise checking with your doctor before using this ------ I am not a doctor and as I said, have never had any knee issues in my life.

It supports your knee .. bands give you a stretch but do not hold your knee in place. This does. Whether or not its more effective I don't know but it has helped me.

I don't think so -- it has quite a bit of glucosamine -- but I can't speak for your particular situation. It has strengthened my Newfoundland's knee joints a lot.

No. It is good for a short while. I used it for a few weeks and started having terrible knee pain. I haven't used it much since. :(

Knee brace is great for strenuous activities ... gym, skiing, etc. It does restrict some knee movement but not too much of a problem. My opinion ... for runners, this brace will be a burden. It will throw the runner off balance for one; secondly, the brace will have the nasty habit of sliding down from the knee. I know the second problem firshand for it affected my skiing. The runners up and down action will definitely shift the brace requiring frequent adjustments upward. You can always tighten the velcro straps super tight but that will restrict blood flow and eventually cramping. Only my opinion! And yes, as you said, it is rock solid and its flexibility is somewhat restrictive.
