Should i get a knee brace for football?

Question

Football season is approaching and i have been getting in shape.

I run every day but by the end of my workout my knee is ALWAYS in ridiculous pain. I have never used a brace, so i don't know if they are worth the money. Any advice?

Answer 1

I recommend using a knee brace. Given that knee injuries are common in football, it's better to have some basic protection to prevent injury.

Answer 2

Well it depends,

Both of my brothers have had knee braces and it has help them alot

and after your work out your knee shouldnt be in a ton of pain

you should deffenitly get it looked at and maybe even consider phyisotherapy. It aslo depends on what postions your going to be playing. If your a QB you not running that much you wont need one as much as opposed to a WR or and RB who sprints alot up and down the field.

Answer 3

yes get one

Answer 4

do RICE and i have tendenitis(oshgood schotters disease) common in young athletes right under my knee cap where a large bump has formed after all the wear and tear and a basketball injury. but the dock never said anything about a brace try asking the doctor first, if he says yes then GO GET IT!!!
