OA knee braces

Posted , 3 users are following.

Anybody have experience with Don Joy Clima Flex or other knee braces? I have had these a few days and they seem cumbersome and do not stay in place. To some degree they seem to reduce stress on knee but difficult to manage and the tightness required is uncomfortable in other ways.

    Hi Steve!   I've had OA for a number of years.  (Hips, knees, wrists and ankles).  I've never tried braces but, for warmth, I buy tubular bandages.  They have some support (limited) but the warmth certainly helps my pain.  I wear them all at night only.  Though comfortable to wear during the day too.
