NEENCA Professional Knee Brace for Knee Pain, Hinged Knee Support with Patented X-Strap Fixing System, Medical for Pain Relief, Arthritis, Meniscus Tear, ACL, PCL, MCL, Runner, Sport -FSA/HSA Eligible

I love this brace. In addition to having bone-on-bone Osteoarthritis, I also tore the Meniscus on my left knee.I have a different, more complex brace to wear when I go outside (I use a wheelchair mostly), but when I am home, I prefer a less cumbersome brace. Most braces do not support my knee well enough to control the pain.I finally bought this knee brace, and I now I have a winner.Throughout the day, I may sit in a regular chair or I may have to recline on my bed, because of disability. This brace allows me to keep it on even when I am reclining on the bed. It is comfortable no matter where I sit or if I am doing "furniture walking" in the apartment.Other braces did not have enough support, but this one has a lot of support.With other braces, the velcro began to NOT stick much too quickly. This brace seems to have medical-grade velcro, which is much stronger and usually lasts much longer than retail-grade aka sports-grade velcro. The only thing with the stronger velcro is that it takes a while to learn how to use it without irritating the skin on your fingers.It helps to not pull at it with the tips of the fingers. I've learned to sort of use the sides of my fingers, and that lessens the strain on my fingers.I like that there is a double strap on the top and on the bottom, allowing me to tighten (or loosen) the brace as much as I need.My only caution is choosing the size. I measured my thigh as they said to do, and my measurement was right at the border of 2 different sizes; the max on one size and the least on the next size. Since I read one reviewer say the brace was too big for her, I decided to buy the smaller of the 2 choices. Well, it turned out to be way too small for me, not even getting over my knee!I finally reached out to the seller, even though I thought I had waited too long (busy with treatments for breast cancer & other health issues), It was the last date they allowed for returns, and it was late at night. I decided to try anyway. I sent them an email, explaining the situation. The next morning, A Saturday, they responded & said they would be sending out the larger size immediately, which they did. I had it Monday morning!The larger brace fit me fine. I wanted to wait a while before doing a review. I wanted to have time to use the brace for a while, to see how good a job it does and to see if the fabric & side hinges felt sturdy. After wearing it every day for a few weeks, I have to say I am very satisfied with it. It does not irritate my skin at any point, & the hinges feel strong and are supportive. The knee cushion is very protective, too.

I had tore my meniscus root on my left knee and needed a brace to hold me until surgery. I found this brace was very supportive and helped the keep the knee pain to a minimum. After surgery the doctor makes you wear a brace that keeps your leg locked from bending. That brace would never stay on, and I spent most of my days trying to keep it up where it belonged. After I was free from that brace, I went back to wearing this one, that never slips down my leg and stays put and gives me excellent support. You can even take the metal bracing on the sides out if you don't need that kind of support. I am a larger woman and this brace fits me fine. The only con is I normally have a funny pattern on my leg when I take it off because it holds on so tight. Rather that than having to keep adjusting it back up on my knee. Highly recommend this brace.

I love this knee brace. It helps support my knee very well and eliminates a lot of my pain, though not all, but I can’t expect it to ease it all. I even fell while wearing it and it helped prevent a lot of potential damage and pain to my knee that would’ve occurred had I not been wearing it. It took most of the impact as I fell on the top of the knee part where the circular padding is. I wore this while hiking and I honestly believe my knee would’ve been much more worn afterwards had I not worn this brace.I love that it has so much size adjustability and that it isn’t so bulky and ugly. It also bends with my knee very well and seems well built.It holds up pretty nicely and overall is definitely worth the purchase.It is seamless in the way that it has to be put on like a pair of jeans instead of being placed over top and strapped on like some other smaller ones. This is nice as it helps with the support, however, it does cause struggle with wearing over my jeans as they ride up with the brace as I pull it up into place. I’m sure if I got a larger size this may help at least a little bit.The only thing I don’t love about it is that it keeps slightly bunching at the knee pit and causing discomfort there and it tends to slip down a smidge requiring adjusting, though not as bad as some others. This might be remedied if I got a larger size, but I’m not sure.

I have tried other knee braces and this one is the best! Very comfortable and supportive so I can walk and still do many activities. I had a slight tear in meniscus and a compression fracture of the tibia so I chose this brace after my healing. It’s a great brace and my go to when my knee becomes sore or inflamed.Helps tremendously with my pain and discomfort. It’s worth the money and I recommend this brace for excellent support.

This knee brace is built better than you'd expect at this price point, but the actual "hinges" are suspect.The brace slides over your leg and had a solid Velcro system in place, but the hinges that run adjacent to your knee don't seem to have any resistance at all. They could possibly help against lateral movement, but without resistant supporting your knee, I think it's just keeping it in an alignment situation.I have several knee sleeves from the same company and I rely on them more often. At 1/3 the price, they are a great deal.That product is a compression sleeve for your knee and has some plastic resistance pieces on either side.The company does make a solid product though.
