Copper Fit Original Recovery Knee Sleeve

I have a knee problem that only causes pain when the knee goes sideways. Walking normally does not cause pain. And you can keep the knee movement pain-free, when you are awake. But at night the uncontrolled side to side movements of the knee when I was trying to sleep in a bed would awake me with pain. I've lived with the pain for about two years. I don't want knee surgery or a new knee cap. Before Copper Sleeve I found it was less painful to sleep in a chair than to try to sleep in a bed. Graduating away from the chair back to the bed I then tried Salon Pas (topical aspirin patches) on the sore spots around the knee, and that made the pain go away so that I could sleep normally in a bed. But prolonged use of the stick-on patches (every night) would irritate the skin and make it raw. So when I saw the TV advertisements for Copper Fit I thought, why not? Copper Fit is really not much more expensive than an ACE compression bandage from Wal-Mart. So I bought one Copper Fit knee sleeve in January 2016. Wow! The Copper Fit knee sleeve worked! Not an all-at-once miracle-type cure, but with nightly use the pain receded the longer I wore the Copper Fit knee sleeve. Blessed relief and longer sleep periods without pain! The first Copper Fit knee sleeve lasted about four months, and I noticed that as it expanded and lost its compression elasticity the pain would return. So I bought another one (well actually I bought a whole lot of them from the Amazon scratch and dent site called warehouse deals in April) and Wow again! With the new tight compression Copper Fit sleeve the side to side knee pain disappeared again. So for around $2.25 a month, I sleep almost pain free. I may have an occasional twinge, but it no longer wakes me up. So to sum up, I find the Copper Fit Knee Sleeve to be an excellent, drug-free, non-invasive way to treat the pain symptom of my knee problem and make it go away; but please note that the Copper Fit Knee Sleeve is NOT a cure for my knee problem which causes the pain. The Copper Fit Knee Sleeve is worth every penny to me and it is cheaper than using Salon Pas topical aspirin patches to treat the knee pain! Highly Recommended.

I have overworked my knee due to the job I do and possibly my age which is now 50. I cracked my knee the last week of December. I had to call out from work for 4 days due to the pain. I have no medical insurance so I tried so many different ways to ease the pain including taking 6000mg a day of ibuprofen, ice, Epsom salt, essential oils and even the way I walked, by dueing that everyone can see that something is wrong and I did that for 2 1/2 months and it still didnt work, i just wanted to cry and sometimes I did. I work on my feet all night long so you can imagine how painful that was. I bought a copper fit knee sleeve and that made a big difference, I can walk a lot better, training my leg to walk straight again I even sleep with it on. What I like about the Copper Fit knee sleeve is that its lightweight, it stays up with the rubber edge around the inside of the top and it keeps your knee warm as you're walking around. It must be dueing what it's suppose to due because I can walk with hardly any pain if any at all. Thank you for this product. I would like to get another knee sleeve and try the socks. All the years I worked and the physical labor I do I feel like I need copper fit for my whole body, lol. Thanks again

Ok, I am a huge skeptic when it comes to TV products like this. I think they are for weak minded fools but....let me tell you....I am glad I purchased this. To start off with I am 43 years old. I weigh about 170 lbs. I am in decent physical shape. My right knee has been bothering me for about 3 months. It is a muscular/tendon/ligament problem (Not in my joint). I do not have problems walking or jogging, just getting up off my knees from squatting or kneeling. Now, with all that said, I have worn this thing for 4-5 days now and I can notice a positive difference. I don't know if it's all in my head or it is actually making a difference. I don't care. My knee is feeling better. Not completely healed, just a lot better.I have also read some negative complaints about the fit. If you go to the 'Copper Fit' website there is a measuring guide. I have read that they run small in size and are tight. People....IT IS A COMPRESSION SLEEVE!!! It supposed to be tight!This thing is only about $10. Why in the world wouldn't you try it....it's only $10!!!!!!

Once you find correct fit, product is wonderful. I have bad knees from decades of playing soccer. Arthritis is starting to set in as I get older. I have one leg a little bigger than another. My left is 18.5" and my right is 20.25" measuring as instructed. Based on this, I bought the large for my left and the extra large for my right. The large right away is too small. Like others have stated, the bands are way too tight and cut off circulation. I made sure the band was at 5" above knee and re-measured around top band. Now 17-5/8". That's almost an inch compression. I tried moving the top band down closer to the knee but not much better. I tried the extra large. Compression on top band is around 3/8". Feels more comfortable and doesn't move with activity. I think the level of compression and comfort is what was intended. There is also the bottom band issue. The MFG tappers the cut from top to bottom and assumes you have a skinnier calf. If you have strong calves like myself, I had to push the bottom almost all the way up to the knee to not cut off circulation on the large. The extra large can be placed as designed.Overall, I started to notice less discomfort within an hour. Was almost discomfort free within 3hrs. The Extra Large fits both my legs comfortably so I am planning to return the large and purchase a second Extra Large. As long as you go in knowing you may need to try different sizes, you should not be disappointed with this product.
