Would this be good for all day/everyday walking support while healing from a sprain?

My daughter wears it all day at VB tournaments and doesn't seem to have any discomfort issues. I would say yes.

Yes it has great support the only support for the ankle area that I have found. I use it when I cut the grass on a hill I have no pain when I finish

Yes, I wear this support all day/everyday for walking support. It is very comfortable, better than most. I have several walking supports types as I have a condition called "drop foot". This is as good as I have found, regardless of price. Good Luck!

I wish I would have worn mine full-time. Physical Therapy said not to. This is over a year later and the sprain has not healed. At least wear it when you sleep.

It seemed tall enough for me, but I have plantar faciitis. Since your problem is in the heal it might also be enough. You should probably check with your doctor though to be sure.

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.

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!

I don't think this is a brace for strength as much as comfort, such as warmth for arthritis. Others may use if for running, but I didn't use it as brace to support a joint for secured mobility.

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

All depends on your injury. If you need to wear one at all, it likely you need to wear it for any prolonged walking. My personal experience with severe ankle injury is that it should be worn more rather than less, combined with carefull excersise - with my Drs advice in mind: " Let pain and swelling be your guide"

I had achilles tendon surgery and wore this to help with edema (which it did. now I don't need any brace at all) so my shoes were all mules without backs. To me, wearing this brace along with the heel pads that come with it for both shoes, is nothing short of a miracle. Good luck.

I dont know if it is good for preventing knee problems, but the support it gives keeps me from re-injuring my knee.

This sleeve did provide comfort and relief from the pain. It could reduce swelling but I would only do that at night. If you are having lots of daytime swelling this will not heal you and could make things worse. You could use it for short periods like a trip to the store, or a walk, but don't plan on having it on all day to fix everything. Good luck...I have a new empathy for people with foot pain. We need our feet!

My recommendation is "yes". You are putting a great amount of pressure on your knee and though the walker is comfortably cushioned, I would definitely buy a supplemental cushioning device.

Yes to both questions. I bought it because I had a broken foot. It was much easier than crutches. It allowed me to do my job (veterinarian) which requires me to be mobile most of the time. It went back and forth with me to work every day.

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 think it would be helpful. I've been able to knit wearing the splint. My orthopedist recommended it if I needed pain relief but wanted mobility.

My personal opinion would be "no." It is a fairly light weight, compression sock. A little extra support on top than some. But basically...holds sides in. I have used many...before, and after major surgery. I work on my feet for twelve hours a day, in steel toed work boots. I use compression socks to keep my foot support...even just a little. I would doubt it would support something enough...as serious as drop foot. Hope this helps.
