It helped my son who had inner thigh into hip pain. He wore it at school (6-7 hours a day) under his pants. He said the stabilization helped him from tweaking the injury when going up and down stairs and walking. Hope that helps!

It will probably help take some of the stress off of it but it is meant for groin and inner thigh injuries. If you decide to buy it and give it a try let me know how it works for you. I had a really bad groin injury and this help me be able to walk and jog a little bit. Good luck

Yes it does. Personally I had a hip and pelvis fracture which needs to be partially replaced. I bought it because I needed a boost; in my recovery training. Today I'm running 5k and 10k events. My son had a right tight injury las summer, he wore a while and today he is my training partner. Best of lucks.

I am not familiar with this condition. So I googled it. It is only my opinion that I think it would help. I purchased this system for my plantar fasciitis which is heel pain. I found that following the protocol was extremely helpful. I was told to learn to live with my condition, get special shoes or opt for surgery. That was not an option for me. Diligence is required and getting past the initial pain is key. It was a "hurts so good" because I got tremendous relief. I no longer have plantar fasciitis. I don't know if this answer has been a help to you but I believe it is definitely worth the effort. Occasionally I still use my walkers when my feet are tired. I am not familiar with this condition.

That's what I use it for and it seems to work. I assume you mean when your butt hurts on the outside. It helps when I don't want to swallow a pain killer.

Be extremely careful. I ended up with second-largest burns on the back of both thighs...the most painful thing I ever experienced. Took weeks to heal.

I used it for a muscle tear, but I also put under a compression sock for more support! I did well playing tennis with both. I hope this helps but be careful with a minor fracture because it can get worse! Good luck

Marguerite, surgery is always one of those things you need to run by your doctor I think....the only thing I can share is that I have degenerated discs in my lower back and had a LOT of pain but using this as directed, I have found my pain to be almost non existent most of the time. This cream works on inflammation and does a superb job of helping with pain....but again, I defer to your doctor's suggestion. Hope you find something to help you - this has been a wonder product for me.

As with any bicycle type devise, this does work the upper thighs, and the lower calves. It is useful in many positions and great for recovery after surgery. You can adjust the tension to helpwith the thigh area. It basically depends on exactly what you are aiming to work on. It is not a best for intense exercise, but more for maintaining and healing. You can practically lay down an exercise or sit right up and do it. Used regularly it will keep your legs well exercised, and help in the healing process of surgeries such as knee replacement. It is also well made so it can stand up to time and use. hope this helps. God bless As with any bicycle type devise, this does work the upper thighs, and the lower calves.

I am not sure if the wrap is a cure for a meniscus injury yet? I think I have a small meniscus injury and I can say this wrap has been incredibly helpful. I use it five times a day with ice. I can say that am really grateful for this wrap. I was in so much pain before I found it and now after using this wrap I have gotten rid of the pain and swelling. The reason I cannot say it can heal a meniscus tear is because I am still not sure if this type of injury and be healed without surgery. I am hoping so but I don't have enough information yet. Bottom line this is a fantastic tool for a joint injury or muscle pain.

I believe it would help either. I purchased it for a hamstring strain and it really seemed to help.

I cannot say for sure. It helps me with severe back pain in that I think it relaxes my spasms and stimulates circulation. My personal opinion is that it could provide some relief, mostly temporary, as I assume you have back pain with your sciatica. I don't think its a miracle cure at all, but have found it very comforting when experiencing severe back pain. I do have leg burning, pain and numbness which may or may not be sciatica (different medical opinions) and I do not place the pads directly on my leg but instead on my low back because that seems to be the source. Sorry I'm not more helpful. Also, please note I have subsequently obtained a stronger machine for at home, but this one is so light and small that its great to carry with you places. If you like it you may want to buy an extra set of the pads as they do only work for a certain amount of uses.

This item helps with pain. But it is only light support. If you have a lot of main you need more support. You might want to check with your doctor. Thank you

Yes, I have the same problem in my right knee and that is why I bought these. While the knee can still be in pain, it prevents further irritation and allows me to move comfortably.

Pain that lasts more that a week or two should be checked by a Doctor first. I have chronic back pain which radiates to my left hip and knee. I find that this does give me some relief. Using the tens unit is very relaxing and that is always good for pain. Depending on what is causing your pain the unit may be helpful to you too. It is certainly worth a try. I love my unit and use it nightly before I go to bed since laying down causes more pain. It would be helpful to find out where your pain is coming from so that you can position your electrodes where they will do the most good. Hip pain could be coming from your back so it would be good to position them on the back. If the pain is really coming from the hip then the electrodes would be best placed on the hip. You could try both locations since you have outputs on the unit for 2 sites and run them at the same time. Bottom line I believe that it helps me. Everyone is different but when your in pain this is really worth a try.

The leg curl does allow a full range of motion.Yes, your heels would touch your glutes.I have had this machine about two weeks. It works, I have sore muscles

Didn't feel very soft or comfortable to me, but I have hyperesthesia of the right hip, so I don't know if it would work better on someone without an injury.

My daughter who just went through hip surgery said they would be better than regular crutches. Give you more balance and more comfortable. So I would say yes. PT in the hospital will teach her the form and it all just healing from there.
