| @pam w, I definitely would dig out the bioskin knee support. Must admit I am never going ski again without my knee supports. Jonathon gave a really good explanation of how they will help when we have damage in our knees and it was to do with the brain using the extra information it gets from feeling the support bandage on the skin to make up for the lack of signals it is getting from the damaged knee. |
Hi do you mind me asking which Bioskin support you have used as there seems to be a few options?.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Mine is the patella stabiliser one as I bought specifically when I had a week VMO muscle which meant it was firing slightly slower than my other one. I use that one one knee. I also have a hinged Meuller knee support which I use on my knee with half an ACL left in it.
Both were bought on specific recommendation from my Physios at the time.

Hey everyone. I am new to the forum and this thread caught my attention right off the bat. I actually work as a treatment adviser for soft tissue injuries and I can't even believe how common meniscus tears are! I hear of MCL and ACL tears once in a while, but meniscus tears, every single day. A lot of doctors will recommend surgery right away and say it is because the meniscus gets 'no blood flow'. It is true that the meniscus gets very little blood flow, but it is a living tissue and therefore does get some. Because the knee gets very little blood flow, it is a very slow healer. There is a Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy (BFST) that I highly recommend for anyone suffering from meniscus tears or partial tears of any knee ligament (ACL, MCL, LCL, PCL, Patellar). It is an energy web within a knee wrap that promotes the circulation you need (via electro-magnetic energy), deep down below the dermal level, in order to heal. I've put in a link for more info on meniscus tears. Happy healing.

@Maizie88,
That looks great I will give it a try does it come with a little vial of snake oil to rub in as well?

@Jonathan Bell, I do like a bit of abstruse medical terminology.

Glad you said that I was somewhat dubious given my experience with my meniscus tears. I have also removed the link as it was smelling somewhat witch a bit pork like.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Link or no link, I was honestly just trying to help. I live in a touristy skiing town and deal with these things all the time. What makes my job as great as it is, is that I get to hear success stories everyday about injuries like this...no surgery required. Just wanted to share, that's all.

@Maizie88, sorry if the reaction to your first post was rather severe. Welcome to snowheads, anyway.  @Jonathan Bell, by the way, is a consultant orthopaedic surgeon specialising in knees.
