I have something like bursitis directly under my knee cap. It becomes inflamed after a couple pickup games. Will this relieve some of that pain?

Several years ago I got my left meniscus removed due to a severe knee injury, this sleeve has been very useful to me. But I really don't know whther this would work for you. Good luck!

Absolutely! I hurt my knee playing soccer and now I wear it everyday for added support. It isolates the joint just like more expensive models and

I have no idea about that. I doubt it. Try Zyfalmend, which is sold thru Amazon at a very good price--cheaper than you can get at a Whole Foods, etc. store. Some folks have really good luck with Zyflamend and it was recommended to me through a well known herbalist. Look at the reviews for Zyflamend on Amazon--that is a good start. Good luck with that knee!

I have wear them a few time in the past week. I have knee problems constantly and when running on the mill more than 3 miles, I could not stand the pain. I've tried knee straps and although it helps, the pain persist.Then I tried the Gel Force and the results are GREAT! It feels weird at the beginning, but after a few miles, I had no pain or discomfort. Recommended!

This McDavid Shoulder support would work fine. I use it after exercise to warm up an injured shoulder. It allows me to keep moving but bring additional warmth and light support to my shoulder.

No it's putting you knee at risk. The pull can be very strong and stretches really well the entire body. This isn't a good healthy choice in your case. I would look for a sitting position.

I believe it would be good for that. However, it depends on how severe your condition is. I have found that it keeps things in place very well and comfortably, and it kept my knee from hurting during physical activity. Also if you wear it during physical activity it will significantly reduce the chances of getting water on the knee, and n last a lot longer without fatigue or pain. If you find that you need to wear it all of the time, I would recommend seeing a doctor.

It is very helpful but only after wearing a "hard" split for a while. The thumb need to rest in completely. Use this soft brace to begin returning to activities (or for a flair up).

I am currently sitting here with my brand new ice pack wrapped around my knee and about 12" from my nose (knee is elevated to heart height in front of me). There is a very slight smell but given how I can wrap it on the diagonal around my knee to the area that's swollen the worst, that tiny bit is something I can definitely live with. It is -nowhere near- how much a pain-relieving salve would smell (such as arnica or bengay) and it's completely gone while the ice pack is freshly cold. If you noticed it much you could probably use it as an indicator of when to freeze it again! :D

It relieves pain temporarily. I use it for arthritis pain in my knee and shoulder. It's better than ben gay etc.

Yes. I recommened using a pillow between your knees with this boot. I have ordered 3 different fascitis boots, and this one by far is the best. You will have to play with the straps the first few nights to get them adjusted to the correct place for your foot and so it does not cut off your circulation. It is takes a few nights to get used to sleeping with it on, but after the 3rd night, I don't even realize I have it on anymore. Good luck and I hope your fascitis gets better.

I wore it for the 3 hours and was able to do a few things that I haven't been able to do, and it helped. It didn't fully get rid of the pain, but it definitely helped it a little. I'm not sure if it would prevent further injury, my shoulder is so bad that i can't lift my arm

I purchased this before going to the doctor and after reading various tips for trigger thumb that said to immobilize. While it did help with the pain, the trigger thumb wasn't relieved. When I went to the doctor he didn't say anything about immobilizing the thumb. I did have a cortisone shot and that helped the most.

Yes, it takes stress off the joint. Also try some good quad strengthening exercises - see Treat Your Own Knee Arthritis for more on that.

The knee cushion on this was very hard. My mom made me a really thick cushion that was covered in fleece and attached underneath with elastic. Think the old dish covers that snugged over the dish with elastic. It was a lifesaver! My knee was very sore even with the cushion. Find someone who sews to make something before you need it. I would recommend several layers of cushion as opposed to one thick piece of foam. I hope you heal up quickly!
