Copper knee support for women and men,[2 pack] knee

Have to say I was impressed the first time I wore one and after 2 weeks on my right knee my pain levels have been considerably lower than I’ve had in years – so the copper and compression have 100% had an effect.

My only concern is that after several washes they are not as good as they started out and do not stay put as well as they first did.

However , for the benefit to my osteoarthritis I am very happy with the results for the small price paid.

I have had a couple of knee ops over the years and generally it’s fine now (apart from being crunchy), however I overdid the kneeling in combination with cycling and my knee blew up. As many of you may know, even the slightest bit of swelling around and under the knee cap causes the kneecap to not track properly, which can lead to more damage being done if you carry on exercising. I had iced my knee and rested for a few days but it had reached a point where it didn’t seem to be improving any further, so I began the active recover approach. I have knee supports at home but they were too tight for my swollen knee and made things worse.

I am so pleased that I opted for these supports. I first bought a single version of this from the same brand and was so pleased with it, I bought this two-pack so that I would have spares. Each support fits well and applies compression to help eradicate swelling but without putting too much pressure on the joint. It is also very comfortable to wear with the cuffs at either end being wide enough and soft enough not to dig in. It also has copper infused into the fabric which is antibacterial, antiviral and is said to help relieve pain and promote healing when worn against the skin.

My knee measures 42cm 4-5 inches above the kneecap, and I opted for the Large size which is perfect.

Five stars!
