Sleeves have not helped me. I have serious injuries that include acl tear, meniscus tears , and arthritis . And the sleeves have NOT helped me at all. I’m looking for a solid knee BRACE, they’re not cheap so I would love to find someone with solid advice on which one I should buy. I love using the treadmill and desperately want to start working out, walking on the treadmill regularly again. Any help or suggestions on a brace would be greatly appreciated.
Hey Daphne, sorry to hear about your ACL tear, meniscus tear and knee arthritis :-( For what you have going on, you'll need more than just a brace. Absolutely you should be in a good brace with brackets like this one: Shock Doctor Knee Brace - amzn.to/3hhguVR But you cannot rely on the brace alone to help with your knee problems. You'll need to address the underlying root problem that is setting up your knee arthritis, unhealed ACL and unhealed meniscus. The common root problem is a muscle imbalance that causes too much pressure to build up in the knee joint. That means you've got to do the right exercises at the right time. Our Knee Arthritis Recovery Program would definitely be the best place to start. That way you can know if this is the right time to be getting on the treadmill.

I am going to a gp I was referred to in Qld Australia. He takes blood, spins in & turns it into stem cells & injects the stem cells under the knee at the one appointment . I have spoken to 3 people he has treated, one was in a wheel chair so fingers crossed it will work. I think he uses the reclaim method that was mentioned at the Mayo Clinic. My orthopaedic surgeon didn’t mention this method to me & sent me away & said could back when the pain is so back & have a knee reconstruction.
Hey Jen, that is platelet rich plasma injections you’re talking about. Hopefully it helps and you can find some relief! Injections do not fix the mechanical problem of the over pressure in the knee joint. That means that the knee pain is probably going to come back even if this injection gets you some temporary relief. You really should address it by doing the right exercises and starting to address how you move. We talk all about it and show you exercises in our videos on this channel.

Hi Manuel I had a left knee replacement on January 27, 2023. I had a meniscus and cartilage replacement. Because I had my phone and bone rubbing against each other I could not walk off or down the stairs. I couldn’t walk one block. I was in a lot of pain. My knee will be swollen. So my orthopedic doctor did the surgery everything came out OK but I still get stiffness
My unloader brace really helped for a while after my Regenexx procedure ~ How ever I slowly weened off the brace because it messes up with your gate / muscle / tendon and exercises ! Now I’m brace free🎤

Hi doc I'm 4months after patella surgery my bending of knee is locked at 34 degrees I fell so tight my tendon and I feel crashing or popping my patella to femur when I'm bending but there's no pain what should I do to increase my bending knee to atleastt 90 degree,thank you for your time sharing your video.
Dr David, the knee sleeve you listed here doesn’t have the hole in the front. Please recommend one with the hold. i must have kind of sleeve. Thank you. The one you listed puts extreme pressure on my knee cap.
Hi I had bone on bone, I had surgery 6 weeks ago, I am still in pain , Dr send me for physical therapy 3 times a week, plus doing exercises at home. Please what do you recommend for me to do to get rid of pain, I can’t take it anymore, thanks 🙏
Sorry to hear this A Y :-( For a recent surgery, you need to heal a lot at the beginning. Have you been up on your feet a lot? If so, you likely need to rest and let it recover. If you had a knee replacement then you need to get all your motion back as soon as possible. Not all physical therapists get this either, sometimes they over-work surgical knees to adhere to the surgeon's protocols (instructions) despite over-doing it for the joint.
Hello Luz! Sorry to hear about your knee osteoarthritis :-( Most people can get better without surgery but some should go get a knee replacement. We talk about it here in this video: “Is It True Painful Knee Joint Cartilage Can Heal Even If It's Bone On Bone?” th-cam.com/video/UXZj2RFUVOo/w-d-xo.html We also have a playlist of knee arthritis videos here: “Knee Arthritis Pain Help” th-cam.com/play/PLJVIPiFvv1maa9YF-WmKLF7oI4VoczH8i.html
Hey Dan! Unloading braces are hit and miss. We find more miss than hit. The best way to know if they're going to help you is to try a brace out and see if it helps for you.
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Thank you … They are so expensive that I hate to take a chance both knees are gone and the prices I’ve gotten for 2 are almost $2000.00
I'm currently going through this. I tore my meniscus and some of the cartilage is worn off my kneecap. I had surgery but it didn't really help. My doctor had me going to physical therapy before the surgery and I had also been walking to get exercise not knowing all this was wearing my cartilage. I wish I had found your videos sooner. My knee is pretty much in the same situation yours is in it sounds like. I'm bummed out about it. Been dealing with it for about a year now.

Any thoughts on a brace I can buy that will let me get back to running even though I have almost bone on bone causing knee pain on medial side of my knee?
I have knee to knee pain have a bum knee on the left knee that left Mr unable to walk due to my recent stoke ? Help I have stiff knee? Do I need a knee brace
Replaying this. A few years back, I was fitted for a Don Joy brace for my right knee which is I'm pretty knocked knee and is the bone on bone. Doc said this was to take the left side of my knee there and "push" my knee back straight 😳😳 welllll, no could do! 400.00 wasted. I see now I might do better with a non-bracketed brace. My believe is how could that brace push my knee back straight when I've always been knocked kneed in that rt knee? Anyway, thanks again 🙂
Hey Kathy! Sorry to hear you didn't get much out of the brace. Bracing is such a confusing topic for most healthcare professionals. The right exercise is so much more important for most knee problems, especially being knock kneed. Have you seen our video about knock knees?

Hello Sir, I'm 33 yo suffering from cerebral palsy. Due to my crouched gate my knees ache while standing and walking.

Dr Deepika Kant
How do you stop the knee sleeve from rolling down cause my thighs are fat. I was thinking of wearing support hose first then putting the sleeve on over the stockings.
Hi Dr David. I'm 60 years old and I like running for enjoyment as well as exercise. I have bad knees (meniscus surgery on both knees about 6 years ago) . The doctor says I should have knee replacement soon. Once I have knee replacement, can I continue to run?
Hey James, great question! Running after a knee replacement is usually not recommended. Surgeons advise against it because of the risk of loosening the hardware and then needing a revision surgery later. Although, I know many of my patients that do some interval walking/jogging and feel okay, but they're not walking for more than 45 minutes at a time. The better question to ask in this situation is "What can I do to get my knees healthier to avoid replacement surgery and possibly continue to run?" Just because the surgeon is recommending surgery doesn't mean that is the only option. Most people with knee arthritis can get a lot better once they start doing the right things...even after having a meniscus problem. Next week, we'll be launching a Knee Arthritis Recovery Program that sounds like it might be right for you. Keep up with our channel so you don't miss it! Also, in case you need it, here is a playlist of all our knee arthritis videos: “Knee Arthritis Pain Help” th-cam.com/play/PLJVIPiFvv1maa9YF-WmKLF7oI4VoczH8i.html
Thanks Doctor. I'm 71 with bone on bone knee arthritis. I work part time (25 hours a week) at Walmart stocking. With the compression sleeve that you recommend, can I get down on my knees to fill lower shelves?
Hey John! Sorry to hear about your knee arthritis :-( You'll have to see how you feel in your knees when you kneel, bend or squat down using the sleeve. It will come down to how much your glutes can support your movements. If you have problems while at work, you need to strengthen your glutes to better tolerate the movements. “Top 5 Glute Muscle Exercises For Knee Pain” th-cam.com/video/NXdCjT2QtJA/w-d-xo.html
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy I bought and use the sleeve that you've recommended. It helps the leg that I have favored for many years because I have a below knee prosthetic limb on the other side for 50 years

Can you inbox me and let me know should I get a sleeve knee or a brace knee or what to do? I’ve gone to physical therapy at Jag-one but I get stiffness when it’s gonna rain or this cold
He said a knee sleeve would help bone on bone. I have none on bone plus meniscus tears and cartilage damage knee braces with the hinges make my pain worse so I will be purchasing a knee sleeve
I have a lot of people telling me to walk and it helps with arthritis in the knee and all it dose for my knees is making it hurt more I have a hinged brace is it the best
Hey Dorothy, sorry to hear that! A hinged brace is usually a very strong brace and can help with the mechanics of the knee. It is very important to build the muscles that are responsible for maintaining these mechanics as well. This is most often in the feet and the glutes.

I am now holding back tears just to go to work
Hey Margot! Sorry to hear about your knee pain and lymphedema 😢 If the knee pain has been there since before the lymphedema then a knee brace could be helpful. But if the knee pain came on after or became worse since the lymphedema began then it is likely that the lymphedema needs to be treated properly for the knee pain to improve.

For what you have going on, you'll need more than just a brace. Absolutely you should be in a good brace with brackets like this one:

But you cannot rely on the brace alone to help with your knee problems. You'll need to address the underlying root problem that is setting up your knee arthritis, unhealed ACL and unhealed meniscus.

Because I had my phone and bone rubbing against each other I could not walk off or down the stairs. I couldn’t walk one block. I was in a lot of pain. My knee will be swollen. So my orthopedic doctor did the surgery everything came out OK but I still get stiffness
I also want you to inbox me images of exercise for me to do since I had this knee surgery
Can you wear a knee brace with a bone sper on the side of your knee
My unloader brace really helped for a while after my Regenexx procedure ~ How ever I slowly weened off the brace because it messes up with your gate / muscle / tendon and exercises ! Now I’m brace free🎤
Wooohoooo!!! That's great that you weaned off of it Cherl! That's how you're supposed to use most braces, just for a while. Congratulations!!!

Hi I had bone on bone, I had surgery 6 weeks ago, I am still in pain , Dr send me for physical therapy 3 times a week, plus doing exercises at home. Please what do you recommend for me to do to get rid of pain, I can’t take it anymore, thanks 🙏
Sorry to hear this A Y :-(
For a recent surgery, you need to heal a lot at the beginning. Have you been up on your feet a lot? If so, you likely need to rest and let it recover. If you had a knee replacement then you need to get all your motion back as soon as possible. Not all physical therapists get this either, sometimes they over-work surgical knees to adhere to the surgeon's protocols (instructions) despite over-doing it for the joint.
How about a meniscus brace?
Doc its better to inject the hyaluronic acid to bone on bone knee pain

السلام عليكم دكتور هل لديكم جبيرة تحمي الركبة من الرجوع الي الخلف ( التقوس الساقين للخلف). لابنتي عمرها 7سنوات .وشكرا
I'm currently going through this. I tore my meniscus and some of the cartilage is worn off my kneecap. I had surgery but it didn't really help. My doctor had me going to physical therapy before the surgery and I had also been walking to get exercise not knowing all this was wearing my cartilage. I wish I had found your videos sooner. My knee is pretty much in the same situation yours is in it sounds like. I'm bummed out about it. Been dealing with it for about a year now.

I have knee to knee pain have a bum knee on the left knee that left Mr unable to walk due to my recent stoke ? Help I have stiff knee? Do I need a knee brace
Replaying this. A few years back, I was fitted for a Don Joy brace for my right knee which is I'm pretty knocked knee and is the bone on bone. Doc said this was to take the left side of my knee there and "push" my knee back straight 😳😳 welllll, no could do! 400.00 wasted. I see now I might do better with a non-bracketed brace. My believe is how could that brace push my knee back straight when I've always been knocked kneed in that rt knee? Anyway, thanks again 🙂
Hey Kathy! Sorry to hear you didn't get much out of the brace. Bracing is such a confusing topic for most healthcare professionals. The right exercise is so much more important for most knee problems, especially being knock kneed. Have you seen our video about knock knees?

Hi Bill, we are sorry to hear that you've been suffering from bone-on-bone knee issues. We know everyone's experience with it is different but we know the pain and frustration that comes with it.
We have a Knee Arthritis Recovery Program that can aid in your recovery. To learn more about it please click here: epmanualphysicaltherapy.com/knee-arthritis-recovery-program
You may already do this but we suggest sleeping on your back with a pillow underneath your knees to help with the stiffness. An exercise that helps tremendously with stiffness is the tailgate swings.

Dr Deepika Kant
Hi, does anyone heard about Spring Loaded Knee Brace Levitation 2 ? Please share 🙂 Will this help for bone on bone knee pain ?
How do you stop the knee sleeve from rolling down cause my thighs are fat. I was thinking of wearing support hose first then putting the sleeve on over the stockings.
Hi Dr David. I'm 60 years old and I like running for enjoyment as well as exercise. I have bad knees (meniscus surgery on both knees about 6 years ago) . The doctor says I should have knee replacement soon. Once I have knee replacement, can I continue to run?
Hey James, great question! Running after a knee replacement is usually not recommended. Surgeons advise against it because of the risk of loosening the hardware and then needing a revision surgery later.
Although, I know many of my patients that do some interval walking/jogging and feel okay, but they're not walking for more than 45 minutes at a time.
The better question to ask in this situation is "What can I do to get my knees healthier to avoid replacement surgery and possibly continue to run?"
Just because the surgeon is recommending surgery doesn't mean that is the only option. Most people with knee arthritis can get a lot better once they start doing the right things...even after having a meniscus problem.
Next week, we'll be launching a Knee Arthritis Recovery Program that sounds like it might be right for you. Keep up with our channel so you don't miss it!

Hey John! Sorry to hear about your knee arthritis :-(
You'll have to see how you feel in your knees when you kneel, bend or squat down using the sleeve.
It will come down to how much your glutes can support your movements. If you have problems while at work, you need to strengthen your glutes to better tolerate the movements.

I have a lot of people telling me to walk and it helps with arthritis in the knee and all it dose for my knees is making it hurt more I have a hinged brace is it the best
Hey Dorothy, sorry to hear that! A hinged brace is usually a very strong brace and can help with the mechanics of the knee. It is very important to build the muscles that are responsible for maintaining these mechanics as well. This is most often in the feet and the glutes.

My right leg shin top right corner near knee joint hurts really bad, any advise?
Hey Nirdesh, sorry to hear about your knee pain :-(
That area near the outer, front part of the knee can have many sources of pain. If it hurts right near the knee joint, then it's likely a cartilage problem, IT band problem, meniscus problem, or an arthritis problem.

I have lymphedema and need a knee replacement but cannot because of the lymphedema would a knee brace help
Hey Margot! Sorry to hear about your knee pain and lymphedema 😢
If the knee pain has been there since before the lymphedema then a knee brace could be helpful. But if the knee pain came on after or became worse since the lymphedema began then it is likely that the lymphedema needs to be treated properly for the knee pain to improve.
