As always this is what helps me and I attribute my joint health to it.
I’ve been wearing Tommy Kono knee and elbow sleeves for every bit of 20 years. Prior to that it was Mueller brand. In the last 15 years I’ve also purchased elite brand polyester sleeves.
The elite brand polyester sleeves will last forever and are very good but they don’t “warm” the joints as good as the konos. The neoprene is hard to beat as heaters.
For a real heater effect… rub some iceehot on your joints and put the sleeves over it.
I would recommend sleeves to the younger folks to help your joints get/stay warm to preemptively combat joint pain.
Naked knee for life could I maybe lift more with sleeves sure but there are still times I think about ditching those wrist wraps and being belt only raw
I used mark bells for a bit but felt I was in between sizes. Either a sausage or no real compression. I use the 7mm blue rehband for knee sleeves and would definitely recommend.
have you tried an enzyme cleaner?..walmart has them in the pet section.
Also, wanted to note that I had significant joint pain (daggers) and it was due to adrenal fatigue and a hypothyroid. Both were tested and treated with Armour Thyroid and a combo of Drenamin, Rhodiola Rosea, Schizandra ( over the counter) supplements that reduced it 90%. The reason I mention this is because i am not unconvinced messing around with hormones the way we may exacerbate joint problems.
I do, or I used to better, I think. Haha we don’t really do much thyroid investigating at work and it’s one helluva a beast. So I can definitely use a refresh.
Within past year,when i moved into my place i misplaced a BIONIC ARM from DonJoy,it was like 60 something i think,i had it for 4 years,not anymore.think im gonna look for the same one
