“It gave me immediate relief.”

-

FIVE years ago Penny Jones life changed totally after she fell down the last few steps of her stairs. She landed badly on her knee and all her problems started from there.

She had just turned 65, was busy with her three grandchild­ren, very involved with her church and also ran a support group for young mums. She was out of the house most days jumping from one activity to the next. That all changed after her fall.

Her knee swelled up like a balloon and never really went down again! After months of going back and forth to the doctor it was finally decided she needed a knee replacemen­t.

Whilst she waited for the operation she became virtually house bound and even had to move her bed downstairs. This was a very dark time for an active lady like Penny and the only thing she longed for was her knee op so she could get back to her old life again.

But it didn’t turn out as she planned. The operation had complicati­ons and afterwards she found that her knee had lost a huge range of movement, it was just as sore as before and was twice the size of her other one! This went on for a year despite diligently doing all her physio and exercises.

Then one day her husbandter­ry saw a advert for a Copper Knee Support. He had always worn a copper bracelet and swore by it, so he bought the knee support hoping it would help her.

That’s when her life changed for the better. The support gave Penny immediate relief. In the first few days it helped reduce the swelling which in turn improved the stiffness and then the pain started to diminish too. That was two months ago and she is now back to her old self again, running her support group, back to all her old Church activities and best of all she can take her grandchild­ren for days out again.
