Do you wear knee supports when you workout? If so what is the reason?

I had a bone tumor removed from the back of my left knee about 10ish years ago. Because of that I have a few mechanical issues with my left leg and it's more prone to injury, especially with lateral movements or landing from a height.

I don't often wear my brace, but I probably should.

Oh I thought women only use kneepads for @thegreenyogi channeling Austin Powers vibes "uhh anyways* - trails off chuckles 😝😝🥱

[thegreenyogi]

Lol!!!

@thegreenyogi growing in high school the lads that is the class clowns used to say manically lol to laughter "more cushion for the pushing" lol 😆🤣 or pushin'

@NicholasRedone 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭 I have to wear a knee support ever since I was 10 when I work and workout because my knee on occasion will pop out of it's socket and back if I'm not careful. It comes from growing fast early.

@thegreenyogi that's heartbreaking :( 🩻

[thegreenyogi]

@NicholasRedone That's sweet of you. It's really not so bad. It's something I've learnt to live with and I just have to be careful. There are certain things I can't do like running, jumping or wearing stiletto heels because if my ankle goes my knee will follow leaving me with a swollen football instead of a knee which takes weeks to recover. Lol!!🫶

no, my knees are healthy and work well :D

but I use kneepads when play volleyball... hitting the floor can be painful AF :D

I'm not doing any heavy lifting these days so no need for knee supports.

[NathanDavis]

hmm, no... not yet
I don't really need it

but, when I am working around, and moving a lot of heavy duty stuff then I do get one of those back braces that workers use and SHOULD use... because, I still think sometimes, I am some kind of superman, lmao

Only when I squat or deadlift over 100 kg


I don’t have knee pain but they do help avoid injury to a certain extent

[Shiprex]

No I don't because my body doesn't get put through tough enough workouts to need them.

[Anonymous]

No, but maybe I should, I hurt my knee when I was working. My current job is quite difficult.

[MannMitAntworten]

Nope

[In_Trance]

No i don't
