Tommie Copper has a really big advertising campaign pushing their products. Any experiences?

I've been using knee supports since my RIGHT knee started acting up 20 yrs ago, I was 57 and still going to my gym and started using them at that point. I've used so many and try different ones and couldn't walk IF I didn't wear one. I have one I sometimes sleep in to keep knee stable during sleep. I have a Tommie Copper ankle support and like it. I've never bought their knee support but know it exists...may be too tight for my knee. It's really a hit and miss when working with these supports. I have bought a magnetic knee support and on my second one.

It all depends on chronically pained and arthritic the knee is. My left side of my body is much much better than right but OA is visiting my left knee and ankle too.

Amazon has great selection and a lot of reviews.

PS: THese supports and all the modalities and supps I use KEEP me surgery as the hip replacement was a pretty major disappointment....no more for me as long as I can walk where I have to go.

Wow, old timer, you are a true inspiration and source of hope.


Partial meniscectomy 12years ago at age 60. Since then, no problems until recently. Ordered a Tommie Copper compression sleeve after reading your response.
