Ed, are you trying to treat knee oa? Our wrap will fit up to a 35" thigh. We do sell a larger custom, but I would need a measurement and you would have to probably order that through me. We can definitely accommodate your need either way.

I am sorry to say but it has been so long since I used this knee support. I have or had arthritis in my knees. I have had both knees replaced and I am living again.

Yes I believe it will be helpful. I had an injured knee on top of the normal arthitis pain and as a consequence the knee hurt at rest or in movement. Someone recommended Kytta Salbe and it was wonderful. I keep it in my handbag in case there is a flare up.

I think that is what I measured as well Dorene... I went with the medium with this. You want it to be tight not overly so though. It's supposed to sort of keep the knee in the proper position and that it does. The only way to completely do that would be a neoprene sleeve but I have not worn that for quite sometime. Only right after miniscus surgery and I wanted to play tennis 6 weeks after surgery. Then I needed the sleeve. But after about 2 months of wearing the sleeve I went to this and it keeps the knee very steady and I have had no more issues with my knee. Hope that this helps. I think that you can always send this item back if it does not work for you but i did go with the medium not the large.

I'm 80, and wear it every day. The age of the wearer shouldn't make any difference. It's the need of the user. The Kneedit has provided me lots of help. for a torn ACL and lack of cartilage in my knee.

I have no idea about that. I doubt it. Try Zyfalmend, which is sold thru Amazon at a very good price--cheaper than you can get at a Whole Foods, etc. store. Some folks have really good luck with Zyflamend and it was recommended to me through a well known herbalist. Look at the reviews for Zyflamend on Amazon--that is a good start. Good luck with that knee!

I followed the instructions for measuring my knee around the center and ordered a regular based on a 16" knee. When it arrived the knee part felt fine but my thigh was too large for it to even begin to connect to the Velcro. I am now in the process of trying to figure out what size to try next...large or extra large. The quality of the brace seems to be very good and of course, how can you beat Amazon's excellent service!

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.

Hello,Thank you for your interest! We strongly suggest that you get a physician's opinion and recommendation based off your diagnosis. However, I can definitely let you know what knee supports are recommended for post op support: Bauerfeind Genutrain P3 Knee and the Reaction Knee Brace. Both knee braces provide more support to the ligaments and knee.MMAR Sports Medicine

I Had a knee sleeve for a while. I ordered a new one same size and it as a little smaller. In fact it was tight. I would suggest 1 size up. Guess they have a new company making them.

Since you have to pull the support up over your thigh to position the knee support correctly I would think you would go with that measurement.

It does support the knee well. Have found that wearing compression pants under the brace reduces irritation from the heat build up between the skin and the neoprene.

I found it a great help for the problem I had. I injured a tendon in my knee where my knee actually tried to move sideways! It would not hold me up. This brace was most helpful as I waited for the healing to take place. And I was careful to be sure I rested it so it would heal. It gave me all the support I needed. I first tried the over-the-counter bulky ones and they caused too much rubbing and irritation. This fit like a glove. I hope this helps you.

I measured for my knee but the brace is too tight for me and is un-returnable. It is sitting in the box doing nothing. I believe I did measure right above the knee also.

head to http://www.bauerfeindusa.com/en/home.html and lookup the knee support your looking at getting; that page will give you the measurment points and depending on what they are it will suggest your size. My personal opinion is that if your just slightly over on any measurement, go with the smaller size; it worked great for me. Good luck!

It could be if one can keep it from rolling down at the top. And finding a good fit can be tricky. I use a Mueller knee brace mostly for my knee which provides excellent support. Have also used an ACE knee brace, but prefer the Mueller. Good luck.
