Yes, there are several level 3 models of MCDAVID braces; I have three different models of braces level 3 from MCDAVID. This is the most fitting to me.

Well I am 6ft 250lb and I play ice hockey and lacrosse with this brace and I am very happy and satisfied with the support. It is a wee bit thicker than my old knee brace, but not nearly as big as a medical brace. Best of luck to you.

Raven, I'm not familiar with the DonJoy. As I am putting off a total knee replacement this brace has been really great. It's not an "off the shelf" brace these people in India actually custom make it to your leg dimensions you provide. The fit is perfect and the reinforcement is great along with being very comfrotable. My knee problem is I have no ligaments in the back of my knee, they were torn years ago in an automobile accident, and there is nothing holding my knee together. It has been operated on two times and can't be fixed except with replacement or fuse the joint together. Raven, I'm not familiar with the DonJoy.

This is just a small band that fits under the knee. It isn't a brace. I am very heavy and like this type of band because it has a long Velcro strap that will fit anybody.

McDavid says to measure around the knee- http://www.mcdavidusa.com/Product/425R/MCDAVID_Level_2_Knee_Support_w_stays_cross_straps.aspx - I not at home to look at it, but I think I purchased the XL, and it is a nice fit for me.

While this is a decent unloader brace, I don't think it would be enough for you. I used it for an OCD in my knee until I could get surgery. It provided some relief for me but my pain levels were nowhere near what you describe. I would look at the Donjoy line of braces. They are very pricey but for long term use and effectiveness they may better serve your needs. Also, this brace did start to fall apart after about 3 months.

Yes. I have a problem with my knee buckling but not since I started wearing the brace.

I disagree with the others. My knee was 17.5" when I ordered and probably a touch more now since I've gained a few pounds, yet I've had to pull the brace up several times today, my second day with it, just sitting and walking around.

The brace has an opening for the kneecap , some braces do not have this but it seems to give more flexibility. Hope this helps.

Brace is closed all around the knee joint area. The only opening is the small one at the front to the knee cap.

No they are not. If they did you would not get the knee support it offers. If you want and need a knee brace that works these braces are what you're looking for. If for some reason you have trouble getting tight items on your legs I would look elsewhere!

They are sold one at a time. Most people probably have trouble with one elbow at a time. There is chart at the McDavid web site for sizing.

Hi Lucy,I bought this brace for my husband. He measured his knee with a dress maker tape measure, then compared his measurements to the brace measurements posted on the Don Joy site. By the way, my husband LOVES his brace and wears it daily.

Go to McDavid 402 Knee . They will give you what part of your leg you have to measure to determine the size of the pad you need to order.

Unfortunately just the 1, but the price is well worth getting two to save weeks of recovery and paying for treatment. I bought the one amd love it. Again the one with double strap is best! It helps get the brace on tighter :) hope this helps!
