Would this help painful knees

I don't really know. It seemed to help my neck for a while. But just for a while. My son is now trying it on his back. I don't know if the thing really works or not.

Yes. You can actually strap it around you knees with the strap that comes with it. The red and infrared light penetrate the skin and help in relieving the pain.Best Regards,JamieTrue Sun LLC

I'm sorry, I bought this as a gift for my dad at christmas. What I can tell you is it looks like it will save your knees and I also bought the tool pouch which will help him with different jobs without walking back to the house

I bought this specifically for knee pain (suspect a torn meniscus) and it worked better than I anticipated. 5 star review

I really couldn't tell you, Kassie. All I can say is that this has tension adjustments which may or may not work for you since you say even bikes hurt. But I do know that spending time on it strengthens both your upper and lower leg muscles and that help take the pressure away from your knees. Good luck on your quest.

It would depend on the severity of damaged cartilage. My husband and I use it and it works really well. I have knee pain on the left side and I used it daily for a time and now do not have to use it daily. My husband uses it on several of his joints and it works. It is very good for inflammation of the joints but not a cure all. If you are unsure I would suggest that you ask a medical person. We like and are still using it.

I suppose it could be if you have arthritis in your feet. It is definitely good for my arthritic shoulder and knees.

The purpose of the product is to be a stabilizer for injured or sore knees. The stabilization effect is minimal. The side supports in this brace are oddly placed and cause pain as it presses on some areas. It increased my knee pain. I was not happy with the product.

Yes. I tried it and it seed to relieve the headache some but it is really great on my sore knees. I love it

Yes - but don't forget pain-relieving exercises too - books like Treat Your Own Knee Arthritis, Treat Your Own Hand and Thumb Osteoarthritis, or Treat Your Own Spinal Stenosis are a good place to start. As far as research, here's a bit of what I found: ---a 2009 review of available studies concluded that glucosamine sulfate, glucosamine hydrochloride, and chondroitin sulfate used individually only inconsistently decreases arthritis pain. However, many studies have confirmed arthritis pain relief when you take glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate together. ---studies have consistently reported that glucosamine appears safe ---a review by Bruyere et al. about glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate for the treatment of knee and hip osteoarthritis concludes that both products act as valuable symptomatic therapies for arthritis and have some potential structure-modifying effects ---the OsteoArthritis Research Society International is recommending chondroitin sulfate as the second-most-effective treatment for moderate cases of osteoarthritis ---the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) supports using chondroitin sulfate in the management of knee osteoarthritis

It relieves pain temporarily. I use it for arthritis pain in my knee and shoulder. It's better than ben gay etc.

It does help the minor pain in my knees. Don't know about major pain issues.

It works best for knees, ankles, feet, wrists and elbows where you can wrap it around the joint. However I used it when I had my hip replacement; just had to sit or lie down and lay it over the part that hurts. It's much better than trying to use regular ice or a bag of peas.

Im not sure if it helps fingers or hip, i dont have finger joint pain, but it seems to have helped with my knees and lower back. I can say it has helped with the knee pain. This past weekend I was able to do a mile on the treadmill and a mile on the eliptical which i could not have ever done with out knee pain before i started taking flexacil. My real test will come today February 27th. I have a two mile walk at noon and an 90 minute line dance fitness class tonight. I will keep you posted. If Flexacil allows me to walk with out as much pain Saturday and Sunday i will continue to take the product to see what the long term result will be.

I don't know how helpful it would be for a knee tear. It is really more for the hock area

Yes, it takes stress off the joint. Also try some good quad strengthening exercises - see Treat Your Own Knee Arthritis for more on that.
