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.

At the risk of sounding overly dramatic, I think this is a miracle product. The person for whom I purchased this had EXCRUCIATING knee pain on the day it arrived in the mail (today). It was to the point where he was literally screaming and gasping for air for hours while I sat in the dining room calling doctors, insurance companies, and urgent care centers in order to find the fastest route through the referral process and to an orthopedist. The knee pain had started a few days prior, which was when I ordered this Copper Fit product, but the pain wasn't nearly as bad then as it was today. I remembered that the Copper Fit should have arrived and went to check, though neither of us really cared because we knew we were WAY past the Copper Fit point at this stage. Nonetheless, I figured it couldn't hurt to wear it just to hold him over. Throughout the past couple days, he has worn several knee braces, used epsom salt pastes and soaks, ice, heating pad, light activity, no activity, elevation, you name it. I took the Copper Fit out of the box and was actually kind of unimpressed - - it was just a light, little brace with no bells and whistles. He didn't even care enough to put it on, so I did it for him. I went back in the other room, and within five minutes heard him shout out that the sharp, shooting, debilitating pain literally had vanished. It makes no sense! Long story short - - 45 minutes ago he was nearly in tears and ready to go to the ER (which is unheard of for him), and now he's outside with the dog and kids. It's unexplainable. I plan to order every product Copper Fit has available.

I bought this to help do some compression support for a knee injury while running. The product in general provide a gentle and basic compression support. it is not too tight, but is a little too loose on the compression side. The sizing was done per instructions and the end elastic bands were sized correctly and hold the unit in place. but for support on the knee itself was a bit loose compared to another knee band I ordered that provides a better support for my requirements. This unit is good for basic general knee support, but don't count on this to really give adequate knee alignment or compression necessary. It may be good for a jogger and ease of moisture evaporation (which it does), but not much "beef" in the side knee support. (not that it's a full blown knee brace, for that it's not). so for my application, it was good, but not great and there are other products that do a better job for the same or less price. The fit is important and what you need it for. PS having Brent on the packaging makes it appear it's like what football players wear and the commercial, this is not that type of product.

I bought this because I've been struggling with knee pain for over a year. I overextended my knee while competitive ranch sorting on my horse. I'm only 25 so I really didn't want to have to think about surgery. I didn't really expect this to make a huge difference but dang...My pain ceases almost immediately when I wear this, unless I've really irritated my knee. I've been able to get back into jogging with this and can actually just go out and run without the pain afterwards. Only complaint is that when jogging it does tend to try to roll up and I have to stop and readjust it, but it stays in place well during most other activities like walking, riding my horse, exercise bike, etc. I feel old saying this, but when you're in pain it makes a huge difference lol this is probably my best purchase from Amazon. At least it's kept me from having to contemplate surgery for now

I bought a knee brace at a medical supply store. I didn't have time to try on a bunch, so I grabbed off the shelf, the most inexpensive one I could find. It provided decent support, but throughout the day, I had to pull it back up numerous times. I know there were better (and more expensive) braces out there and I had heard from a few people that I should try Copperfit. I put it on the morning after it arrived on my doorstep. I didn't take more than a few steps before I realized that this thing was a piece of garbage. The upper and lower elastic bands were good and fit well, but the actual "support" part of it was completely and utterly useless. I would have had more "support" if I had scotch taped tissue paper around my knee joint. It was snug around my skin as any non-hinged knee brace should be, but it is just a flimsy piece of polyester/spandex with absolutely NO support structure whatsoever. Earlier today, I went back to the medical supply store and tried on some better knee braces because I had more time. I ordered a fantastic knee brace that was very comfortable and provided great support. It will cost about $65 when it comes in, but well worth the money. I guarantee that if almost everyone who gave this piece of garbage a four or five star rating tried on even a cheap $15 knee brace from an actual medical supply store (let alone a better and more expensive one), you would look at this Copperfit brace and think, "What the heck was I thinking? This thing is USELESS!" Absolutely horrible product.
