Pain Type 1 Ā· Same Sleeper, Different Joint
Your feet finally stopped stealing your sleep. Now your knee wants a turn.
Multi-joint pain is the rule, not the exception, for 55+ women with diabetes, chemo recovery, or chronic OA. Once neuropathy stops keeping you up, you notice the knee throb you've been ignoring. Or the stair descent that's still a decision every morning.
What you've already tried: ice (15-min relief, then back) Ā· Voltaren Ā· ibuprofen (your stomach can't take more) Ā· "wait until the surgery."
"If your feet are already on a Nunamode wrap ā your knee belongs on one too."
Pain Type 2 Ā· The Bone-on-Bone Sufferer
The pain that doesn't wait for the stairs anymore.
Bone-on-bone OA. Throb at night, stiffness in the morning. You used to love walking. Your doctor said "knee replacement, eventually" ā and you're not ready.
What you've already tried: ice (15-min relief) Ā· Voltaren and OTC creams Ā· ibuprofen (stomach issues) Ā· cortisone shots (wear off, capped per year).
"I have no cartilage in my knees⦠this is helping."
Pain Type 3 Ā· The Post-Op Patient
Week 6 after surgery ā and the real work starts.
PT once or twice a week. Swelling returns between sessions. Range-of-motion plateau. The gap days between PT visits are killing your progress, and the home program feels impossible without guidance.
What you've already tried: ice + elevation Ā· skipped home exercises Ā· foam roller Ā· "just rest more."
"Feels like a new knee."
Pain Type 4 Ā· The Active-Life Knee
You used to hike. Now you plan around the hills.
Meniscus, ACL, or chronic overuse. The knee gives out unexpectedly. You can't trust it. So you started avoiding things ā and the avoiding makes it worse.
What you've already tried: knee sleeve (passive, no heat) Ā· CBD creams Ā· taping Ā· "rest" (which deconditioned the muscles).
"Pain started to melt away within minutes."
If one of these is your knee ā keep reading.
The Nunamode Knee Wrap was built for exactly this.
