I am 30 years old and I have chondromalacia patella (runner's knee) in both of my knees due to a congenital condition, and severe arthritis in the right one. After been rushed into a surgery on my right knee by my orthopedist --and his scary sense of urgency, without a clear explanation of my condition and my options-- I had an injury that nobody believed that deserved attention. After a year, it was almost impossible for me to walk or even get out of the bed without severe pain. Tired of my orthopedist suggestions (more surgeries and injections), I did my own research on specialized books and medical literature, just to find out that instead of that surgery, I just needed physical therapy, in addition to any kind of knee support that felt right to me. So I stopped listening to my orthopedist, I bought these bands, and I started to work on my quadriceps. Since the very first day using these bands it was like a miracle. I could stand up without pain and started walking as if nothing had happened. Then a physical therapis explained me that these little guys just gave my knee caps and muscles the pressure and support that they needed. He also told me that eventually I will not need them if I keep working on my quadriceps. These bands, obviously, do not solve my general problem. My condition is degenerative, but now I know how to buy me more quality years before the knee replacement.

I purchased this product hoping for a mid-term solution to my knees pain while I am able to go into therapy, I got them yesterday and I immediately felt an improvement to my pain, tightened it in below the knee and it was a marvel.

I have suffered from chronic knee pain while running for years now after experiencing an injury. With running being one of hobbies, I thought I'd never run again without being in extreme pain. These little contraptions have changed my life.. I now run without even the slightest pain in my knee... the only thing is that it's kinda uncomfortable without long pants on. But that's a sacrifice I'm willing to take for no pain. I'd highly recommend

I bought this just a few weeks before my 2 day hike. I have pain in my knee joints when I hike. With these on both legs, I did not have any pain. I thought at first it was a gimmick. It turned out to be one of my best purchases ever. Now I wear it when I do short walks and hikes. Sometimes, I even put it under my work pants. It's very comfortable when you're walking around. It's still comfortable to wear when you're sitting down. I have no cons for this item. I like them and they work.

I went from not being able to walk, to running 26.2 miles in a week with this brace!!! I was in SO much pain and this brace instantly took it all away, granted it takes some finagling. I had to mess with it several minutes before the race to get it just right, but it got me through a grueling race that rained the entire time and stayed put, no knee pain at all. Thank you!!

Been seeing the docs, specialists, etc... for 2 years concerning my knee pain, they took several MRIs and Xrays of my knee, hips, lumbar, they still don't find anything in my knee even though I feel a lot of pain if I sleep on my sides, walking or especially running which I can't do anymore. The pain is always there. I went back to putting this strap on again and the pain subsides for some unknown reason to my doctors. I tried knee braces which don't do the trick, it always comes down to this patella knee strap which reduces the pain by a lot. The only downside I have of constantly wearing it is a burning feeling behind my knee which comes and goes once in a day and sometimes a few times a week. Cortisone injections dumbed the pain for 20 minutes and I thought I was cured, but 20 minutes after the numbness went away the pain was back and I put on the brace again. I also find that the brace has reduced pain in my hips, I don't know if it's a coincidence or what is going on. There has to be a permanent fix for it without constantly wearing this brace 365 days of the year. :/ It's the only thing that has helped me as well.
