Review on High-performance Breathable Athletic Gear for Everyday Activities by Dean Ledet

Decades ago, I tore my cruciate ligament completely and have lived with increasing symptoms and a twisted ankle ever since. The orthopedists told me there was nothing they could do, so I learned to endure it. The orthopedists gave me orthotics and exercises and they helped but only seemed to delay the progress. As the discomfort gave way to pain, I used compression bandages regularly, which worked for some, but required more and more ibuprofen. The physical therapist once gasped when she saw how large and deformed my ankles were. Then I found this at Revain and tried it. After a month of use, the pain was gone. After another month even the discomfort had almost disappeared and the alignment of the tibia and talus improved. My orthopedist was delighted. One thing though is that I'm using it in the inverted position shown. It is typically used to prevent inversion sprains, so it is shown being wrapped around the inside of the heel to hold it in place. Since my problem is reversed, I loop it around the outside to hold the heel. I can't speak to its effectiveness on inversion sprains, but for counteracting the damage caused by dislocations, it's almost miraculous. I use the word sparingly, but the best ankle orthopedic surgeon in the area and the medical school doctor couldn't help me as well as this little stabilizer. I know my deformities will never return to normal, but for the first time I don't expect my ankle to get worse every year.
