DonJoy has provided relief and stability for me for over a decade now, and I can honestly say it is the best product on the market and the quality is superior. My DonJoy knee brace and I were inseparable after five knee surgeries to repair ACL and meniscus tears during my high school years. While these injuries shattered my dreams of playing collegiate and pro basketball, my faith in God and my determination to rehab properly, which included the use of my DonJoy brace, allowed me to continue to play the game I love throughout most of my high school years. God had other plans for my life, and I am living proof, at the age of 32, that you can overcome obstacles and come out stronger than you ever imagined possible. My advice to any one going through serious injuries and orthopedic surgeries is to pay attention to your body and err on the side of caution, regardless of the varying opinions you will receive from your medical team. My advice comes from experience, as my second ACL and meniscus tear came halfway through the basketball season when I felt I was getting stronger and competing at almost 100 percent. I made a decision to not wear my DonJoy brace in a game and sustained the injury, resulting in more surgery and rehab. Suffice it to say, I wore my DonJoy brace after the fifth surgery and still rely on their products to this day. While I no longer need the ACL brace, I will always have a DonJoy sleeve or other DonJoy product for stabilization and peace of mind. My knees are stronger now than in my early twenties. In fact, I am an avid runner and enjoy competitive running. Also, I never miss an opportunity to play a pick up game of basketball with friends. Prior to becoming sold on DonJoy, I tried another brace and there is honestly no comparison in the quality and stability the DonJoy product affords the user. The saying, you get what you pay for can truly be applied in my opinion of this other product. Spare no expense when it comes to a product like DonJoy that can give you your functionality back after a serious knee injury and provide you the quality of life that you deserve. My advice to all, whether you are a trained athlete or a weekend warrior, is to be smart and listen to your body. This is advice learned after pushing my limits. As an athlete, there is a fine line between pushing through the pain and taking care of an injury that could potentially define you for the rest of your life. DonJoy products work. Anyone ready for a run or a game of hoops? ”
