I used to suffer with my ‘‘ knees, until I found these Copper Knee Supports!’’
RAY HAS BEEN a stonemason for almost 40 years, but the job has taken its toll on his knees.
“I love my job, I get to meet all kinds of people and get huge satisfaction seeing the customers reaction when I have finished a job. I am on my knees a lot, but never had any problems until about 2 years ago. Since then the pain got worse and worse and it made my job an absolute nightmare. It also affected my home life as well, getting up and down stairs was painful, I gave up tennis, and didn’t want to go anywhere where I had to walk far.
My wife Jayne finally persuaded me to make an appointment with my GP. He sent me for a scan and it was no surprise that I had arthritis in both knees and the cartilage had completely worn away. It was no wonder that I had been in so much pain. The consultant told me that if they got any worse I would need both knees replaced. This was the last thing I wanted to hear, the thought of having a knee op terrified me.
“I realised I had to stop working and to take early retirement, to avoid any more damage. This caused sleepless nights worrying about our finances as I’d always been the bread winner. Jayne did bits of sewing for extra cash but now she was working all hours, day and night just to make ends meet.
I was at the end of my tether on what to do, even if I had the op, there was no guarantee I’d be able to return to work. So I made it my mission to find another solution!
I decided to go for physio, it wasn’t cheap, but thought it was worth a go. Whilst waiting in reception I noticed a guy in his forties sitting opposite me wearing two knee supports. I asked “I see you are here for your knees as well?.” He laughed “No, my knees are great now, I am here for my back, I had a bad fall skiing”. I was intrigued, why was he wearing knee supports, and how can anyone with bad knees go skiing. He noticed me looking at his knee supports, he said “I used to suffer with my knees, from years of football. I tried everything, but then I found these Copper Compression Knee Supports.
I wear them if I get a niggle or when I need extra support”. “And you ski in them?” I asked. He did! “Yes, and for playing football, even though 10 y ears ago they said I’d never play again!”
He gave me the details of where to get them so I ordered them straight away. I couldn’t wait for them to arrive, checking the post everyday! Two day slater the wait was o ver. They w ere easy to pull onto my knees and felt ver y comfortable. Thankfully they w ere thin enough to wear under my jeans. I wore them around the house and in the gar den. The compression feels like its supporting the knee, and for the first time in months I didn’t feel like my knee was going to give way . F ast for ward four months , I w ear them most days and my knees haven’t felt this good in years. No more knee pain. A month ago I started back at work, taking on a few jobs. No huge projects, but I feel like my old self again and it’s good to be earning again and to take the pressure off Jayne. I’d recommend these to anyone with knee pain.”
