does it help swelling?

After wearing Tommie Copper knee sleeve for a week, the swelling went down and the pain became tolerable.

It will support the knee joint and help with swelling - but don't forget to strengthen your quads! Simple exercises like the ones in "Treat Your Own Knee Arthritis" can give a knee much stability as well.

No this machine doesn't do that. It's just used to reduce inflammation and speed healing.

Yes, the labeling is confusing. I use it for relief of arthritis and bursitis pain. I suspect it works wherever there is swelling and fever.

I am not sure if it helps with swollen legs/ankles. I use it for my back and neck. I do know that if you tilt gradually it does relieve the body of stress on the skeleton and muscles. It's an awesome feeling of relief. It also, after a few sessions gives you extra energy. I started by tilting it 10 degrees then 45 degrees and eventually hung completely upside down. It's not for everyone, but even a little tilt will help relieve stress. This, of course is only my own opinion.

no. MY wife uses them as compression socks for calf and ankle swelling. They work fine.

I bought it for my mom, it is not designed for that & come in one size. It is not good, but she decided not to have me send it back, good support, but not for big swollen ankles. I suggest a good old ace bandage. Or see a doctor.

Yes! Sprains, bruises, sore muscles, cracked ribs, whatever. I haven't yet found anything that DMSO doesn't help. It reduces pain, swelling and inflammation.

It is great for relieving arthritis pain and most other body pains for a good deal of time. I don't think it heals bruises. It does ease the pain caused by them.

It can help. It will keep that area of coverage warm and stay in place. Keeping the muscle warm should aid in the aches department I find them beneficial.

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

I wore it for the 3 hours and was able to do a few things that I haven't been able to do, and it helped. It didn't fully get rid of the pain, but it definitely helped it a little. I'm not sure if it would prevent further injury, my shoulder is so bad that i can't lift my arm

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

Actually, I noticed good results in the form of reduced pain and swelling in both knees within one week. I had had increasing pain in my knees for over two years, so this supplement was like a dream come true for me. I have continued to take it for a year and a half (at reduced dosage) and the pain and swelling are basically gone!

The bauerfreind website gives the measurements above and below the knee. The measurements are right on for each size. It is not a tight fit so it should work for a mild degree of swelling. If u have a lot of swelling u might need one size larger

For me, it gives support--without all the sweating that the other sleeves create. I play basketball with it-- I have arthritis, no longer have knee injury, so can't say that it would relieve pain from that. When I started wearing it, I was recovering from injury, and it seemed to help. I wear it now, for support. It is not a brace---

The arch band isn't meant to reduce swelling if that is the reason you are using a compression sock. It is more of an arch support mechanism. If you are looking to reduce swelling or support more than just the arch I would suggest another killer product called "strength tape". It's a stretchy sports tape in pre cut strips that has a ton of different uses. Check out the website. It shows you how to wrap properly for different ailments. Good luck!!!
