I have always wanted to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and decided this was the year. I spent multiple months training and preparing to summit the “Roof of Africa” when I tore my medial meniscus just weeks before realizing my dream. The MRI also showed I have grade 3 degeneration of the cartilage in my right knee, this was a result of surgery on my ACL&MCL 20 years ago. Needless to say, I was in shock about the diagnosis. I spoke with my orthopedist and he recommended I speak with a DonJoy representative about the situation. The OA Nano knee brace was recommended to help with my osteoarthritis and meniscus, so I gave it a shot. I was surprised how light and durable the OA Nano with the magnesium frame was, but more importantly the stability it provided my knee. This gave me a renewed confidence, so I boarded the plane for Tanzania. My tour group and operators were incredibly supportive and the OA Nano was with me every step of the way – literally – on my grueling 6-day trek to the summit and back. In the end, the journey was even better than I could have ever dreamed of. I can’t thank DonJoy enough for this innovative product that enabled me to fulfill one of my greatest ambitions. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone suffering from osteoarthritis or any issues due to knee pain.”
