THX4COPPER Sports Compression Knee Brace for Joint Pain and Arthritis Relief, Improved Circulation Support for Running, Jogging, Workout, Gym-Best Knee Sleeve

I just received two of these compression sleeves, one for each knee. Out of the package I immediately was impressed with the quality; it seems very well made. To preface this review I have nothing to compare to because I just developed this knee issue and never had a knee problem before. When I first put it on, I was amazed at the support it gives. My knee was swollen and very weak and felt as though it would give out on me if I stepped a certain way. With this compression sleeve, it immediately felt stronger and I had a sense of confidence that I could do things I couldn't do before putting it on (like walk almost normal). I wore it for most of the first day I had it (approx. 6 to 7 hours) and was able to walk much more securely. When I took it off at night, I immediately felt weakness in the knee once again. Although I can see getting addicted to wearing it because of the sense of security it offers, it wasn't psychological when after taking it off that the knee felt much weaker. I don't know what is wrong with my knee. I have been acarpentry/contractor for the last 30 years so it may be an accumulative thing because I don't remember hurting it. It just suddenly began feeling an ache on the outside of the knee and then into a full-blown swollen knee above the knee cap and both sides until it felt like a brick. I don't go to doctors because I don't need them telling me the worst-case scenario, which they always seem to do (you know, doomsday!!) Well, anyway, in reading symptoms for similar knee issues, it seems to line up with bursitis of the knee, which can be brought on by a number of issues, mostly minor.I now just finished the second day with this product and I must say I am very impressed. I don't know what to say about the copper infusion aspect of it because regardless of what any of these products may claim there are no scientific or medical studies to show that copper-infused products of this nature actually help alleviate pain or promote healing. But, with that said, after two days of wearing this my knee feels 80% better, and that's saying a lot because for 4 to 5 days before receiving the product I could barely walk without a VERY noticeable limp. With the compression sleeve on, I walked with no problem at all and even after taking it off this second day, my knee no longer feels like I am carrying a brick tied around it and I can actually bend it halfway now, which I couldn'tbend it at all before. Some skeptics might say it is just the natural healing process, maybe, but this didn't start until after I wore this thing for a total of 14 hours or so in the last two days. Maybe copper-infused does work! But as I said in the beginning, I have never had to wear anything like this, either copper-infused or not, so I have nothing to compare it to. I will update this review as I use this sleeve and see how it continues to perform and how it wears. And believe me, the wear will be a big test because I am going to wear this all the time while working and the kind of work I do will be very tough on it. My reasoning for the overall 5 stars rating is just because of how impressed I am so far with the product. I gave 4 stars for comfort because I would much rather not have it on if my knee were healthy, even though I am going to wear on both knees because by favoring the bad one I don't want to hurt the good one. I gave 4 stars for pain relief only because it feels 80% better. Is it because of the product? Who knows, but so far so good!To be continued...

I have ordered several different brands of copper knee braces and this one is my favorite! One knee is swollen twice as large as the other and has Chronic pain. I discovered copper infused braces years ago as a great way to temporarily relieve my knee of pain, swelling and pressure. When it’s acting up I slide this baby on, in just a short time I have tremendous drug free relief! My swollen knee measured right on the edge of medium & large. So many I’ve tried were either to tight or would slide or roll down. Not the one! It stays up when I was walking around & doesn’t cut off my circulation when I’m sitting with my knees bent... It’s so comfy that I have fallen sleep with it on! The grip bands are soft, thick, cushy and wider than any of the other brands I tried. The fabric isn’t to thick or thin (put my finger right through one brand the 1st time I pulled it on!)it’s just right! The texture of the fabric is cushy soft & not silky but best of all is that the compression is just right! Dare I say Perfect?! If I had known when I ordered this brand of copper knee support, just how perfect this knee brace would be? I would have orders 2 & gotten a discount! BTW This is 100% my honest opinion and I did not receive a discount for my review. I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT YOUR GOING TO LOVE YOURS TO😍

I needed something to keep moving after tearing my Meniscus, but before surgery. I ordered and sent back many things from many different websites. This one is perfect. I have 25 inch thighs, so I needed something big but not bulky, something with adjustable support but not metal and this fit the bill. I love that it slides right on and the straps can be tightened to just the right amount of support. I would only suggest one thing for the company, to put in strap extenders for those that need a little more support. Otherwise, I love this knee support. It does not limit my range of motion or slide down while working out. This is definitely a good product. I have only worn it 2 days, but so far, I have no pain when walking and I have 3 weeks to go until surgery!!! So this helps me walk without pain and constant fear of my knee giving out or locking up!

I ordered a medium and I have about 17 to 17.5 inches. It feels rather tight. I suppose it is that way in order to work. I can't walk or bend my knee well for that matter. I'm trying to use it. I don't want to waste my money and buy a large. Also, I feel a hole for the patella would be better. It bunches up there and it seems pointless to have material there. It might be a little easier to walk without material there. My issue is I hurt my MCL area about a year ago. I was just looking for something to help. I know the side of my knee hurts when I sleep, because I'm a side sleeper and can't touch my knees together. Sleeping with this thing seems impossible and a pillow of some sort may be the only answer for that.

comfortable to every day use, tried several before

Wow! I had low expectations that copper could help my severe RA but it did! I tried MANY knee support braces, etc. and needed one I could leave on all day. I went by everyone’s reviews and this knee support thing has blown me away! Now I’m going to try to find copper finger, wrist, back, etc supports.As for the rolling. I think the band is really well made. It doesn’t roll on me but I could see how it might roll on others. It’s really anatomy-based. For me it helped to actually pull it down a 1/2 inch from where i would intuitively have it on my thigh. I hesitated to put it lower on my thigh, sure that it would slide off. Well, it didn’t slide off and stopped mine from rolling. Good luck!
