Life is about moving forward . . .
I am a pretty active person...at least I was before I was diagnosed with arthritis under my knee cap. The brace has made a huge difference so far. For the past six months, I've been in a ton of pain on the soccer field. I've now been to 2 games with this brace on and no pain. Next up is hiking - downhills have been horrible and I expect this brace will get me through them.
One note / warning: Make sure the sleeve is on good (ie, high enough). As others have probably mentioned, the velcro isn't the greatest....My first soccer game, the sleeve was on but not pulled all the way up. By halftime, I noticed some pain on my upper thigh and readjusted. After the game, I noticed my thigh was all scratched up (pretty deep too). The next time I made sure to pull it up and no issues.
We bought this on recommendation from our son who had borrowed one from a friend. My husband had knee replacement surgery and it was difficult keeping the knee properly iced. Once we received the Iceman, it was much simpler. Just fill with ice and water as directed, hook up the pad, and turn it on; simple as that. He says it is much colder and can really feel the difference in a positive way. The Iceman seems to be much more effective in transferring the cold than the ice packs and gel packs we were using. The swelling seems to be going down quicker now. Glad we listened to our son, who is a (wildland and structural) fireman and tends to damage joints or muscles from time to time. Now my husband also has it for his next knee replacement.
I have purchased several pads to go with my polar wave and feel ready for any body discomfort that comes my way. Love the wave.
This is an item that is absolutely needed when icing your body part. You never get any ice burns at all
The Breg Cold Compression was more than effective in delivering cold compression to support my wife's healing from total knee replacement surgery. It was able to give easily 8 to 10 hours of iced compression that help reduce swelling and pain before needing to be refilled with ice to continue the healing therapy provided. Excellent product and effective as advertised.
Any company can sell me a product but OrthoBracing went waaay beyond my expectations! I ordered two different Donjoy Iceman cold pads but only one was in stock. They sent one first, since I was having surgery, and would send the other when available. Problem was, it wasn’t available for a long time. OrthoBracing offered several solutions and stayed with me every step of the way to make sure I was informed, happy and medically comfortable. No other company has tracked so well with me!
Oh yes, the Donjoy Iceman shoulder cold wrap and spine wrap with large rectangle cold pad work perfectly with the Donjoy Iceman Clear3.
The shoulder pad helps with pain and swelling. You do need someone to strap uou in but i was able to disconnect on my own. I did not have ant issues with leaks.
Excellent working well
The connection needs a cover, because it rubs your shin, one more pain post surgery
Saunders Cervical Traction Unit.
Absolutely the greatest for back and neck pain relief.
Great brace - snug fit and seems to be providing more support than the braces brought previously. We haven’t been using it but for a few days and have a great deal of hope this is finally going to help!
I like the knee pad but looking for a pad that cools from the knee all the way down the bottom half of the leg. Do you sell one?
I contacted the company and they do not get back to me at all
I got an ice machine from Kaiser after my shoulder surgery but I had ordered this one before and WHAT A DIFFERENCE! It is amazing! I have to remember to take it off because it feels so good - it covers my whole shoulder area and can fit snuggly so the cold is evenly dispersed. This has been more helpful than the medicine.
