Simple brace, great price, really works!
My large dog hyperextended my knee a couple of nights ago and I knew it was going to be trouble based on how much it hurt. I'm familiar from my sports background with RICE-ing this type of injury (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) but the pain had me up much of the night. The next morning, the swelling was significant and walking on it was very testy.I'm not a fan of knee braces since they're usually more aggravation than I like to tolerate, but trying to avoid a doctor visit, I got on Amazon and started looking for an inexpensive, uncomplicated brace that I could get delivered the same day. This set of 2 at a price others charged for 1 fit the ticket, so I took a chance on it and ordered it. I didn't expect much but thought it was worth a try before breaking down and visiting a doctor. I can't take anti-inflammatories due to other medical issues, so this was a natural way to see what may help.It arrived yesterday afternoon/evening and I opened it immediately. I was surprised by its packaging. "How can 2 decent braces fit in one small package?" Nevertheless, there it was, so I sat down and pulled it on. For reference, my thigh where it says to measure (4" above the knee) is 17", which falls on the cusp between sizes small and medium. Size medium could arrive yesterday and size small would arrive today. I opted to order that medium for fast delivery, and I'm glad I did. It fits perfectly. (If you're on a cusp or close to the top of a range, try sizing up.)It fit nicely snug but didn't cut off any circulation. My knee feels well-supported. Surprised me for something seemingly uncomplicated! But the structure within is firm and holds nicely. It has a band at the top with 2 zig-zag silicone bead-bands to grip the skin. At the bottom, it is softer and relaxed more. I noticed that my knee felt a little more stable right away, whereas without a brace, I was walking straight-legged and painfully.I slept in it last night nearly pain-free! When I awoke this morning, the swelling had decreased significantly to a minimal amount because of the correct graduated compression. It has not rolled on me and today, I can walk much more easily. I would 10 out 10 recommend this brace! It is soft and thin, would go well under pants, and allows to ease in range of motion. It's far more effective than I expected. I went to get a set for someone else, but it only goes to XL. I wish it went to a larger size.Ver másVer menos
