Product Review - Paratek Compression Sleeves: Ankle/Foot

Product Review: Paratek Compression Foot/Ankle Sleeves (set of two) 

Amazon Link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071YYRG5M

In addition to my "bum knee", I also have a foot that causes me some issues. I have been to a doctor a few times for it, and they want to do an MRI..blah blah blah. Of course they found nothing immediately wrong with it, but assume there's a muscle tear. Sounds fun, eh? Well, this leads me to occasional instances of swelling and sharp pain in my foot. This is a problem, since I stand on my feet and walk daily and have to stand at work as well. 

(inside out on the left, and right side out on the right)

This compression sleeve from Paratek is made for the foot and ankle, so it's perfect for my oddly places injury. Most ankle sleeves/braces do not cover the entire TOP of the foot, and that is where my issue is. 

I chose the size Large, but please note in the photos my foot was swollen - so it looks like the sleeve is too small. I think it's perfect, and it worked exactly how I was hoping. 

I wore this sleeve for about an hour, and my foot pain was gone and the swelling had went down completely. Problem solved! 

 Grab yourself a set of these! They come in a set, left and right - so you get two for a great price.

Product Review: LuChoice Compression Knee Sleeve

LuChoice Compression Knee Sleeve

Pros: 

• Compression 'sleeve' design allows for easy on/off.
• Has lines of anti-slip silicone on the inside, so it stays in place.
• Machine washable.
• Available in 3 sizes.

Cons:

• No color options. Black with blue are the only color option (for now). This really isn't a "con", but I would love it in purple! ☺☺

The Review

A compression sleeve of any sort is great for anyone with arthritis or just a "bad knee" type issue. I myself have a "bad knee", while I am not sure there is anything technically wrong with it, - it hurts all the dang time. Using this compression sleeve helps alleviate the majority of pain and gives support to my knee in order to be more physically active. 

Click the video below to see how 'stretchy' the fabric is, it shows how well you will be able to move and be active. 

You simply pull the sleeve on, adjust it to how you want it and it will stay there. The inside of the sleeve (at the top) has two lines of gripping silicone to keep the sleeve in place. The knee sleeve comes in 3 sizes, and it is important to choose the appropriate size, so the compression does what it is intended to do. Be sure to measure your leg/knee and get the right fit before you order!

Small: 14.5-17 inches

Medium: 17-19.5 inches

Large: 19.5-22 inches

Overall, this product delivers what it promises. It keeps my knee slightly immobilized while allowing movement. It helps relieve the pain I normally feel and is comfortable enough to wear every day.
