@amberpep I too have tried copper infused supports for meniscus tears in both of my knees. I have fibromyalgia & a few other conditions that cause unbearable pain/swelling. I have been losing weight but not fast enough. Both of my knees get alot of swelling/edema in both knees. In my own opinion I have tried several types of different styles of knee braces but in my experience please do urself a huge favor avoid beliefs that everything you see on TV work's. I think your Pain mgmt Dr or orthopedic Dr. Or. Physical Therapist can best advise you as to what type of brace is suited best for your knees or other parts of the body. Always check w/your Dr. Before experimenting with these types of products. I bought the knee sleeve & got the pair of gloves without finger tips also copper infused. They get very hot on hands & knee & I did not find much releif from wearing them. But we are all different & some have other health issue's associated or not that in turn could get worse from wearing the wrong type of braces. So my advice please always check with your Doctor's 1st.
I hope you feel better. I check for different products on a site I get newsletters/emails for different chronic Pain. Or related products on a website called : The Alternative Pain Treatment Directory. This is a website that has helped me understand more about my own Chronic Pain & how to help myself deal with it all. They have item's for all sorts of stuff from vitamins to CBD & even TENS machines & other types of treatments & providers by city & state. I wish you all the best. I hope you feel your post was a great question, I'm sure you & I are not the only ppl who ha've similar issue's & questions about these types of product's. Good luck.
