Hi, I injured my knee in spin class. I’m looking for a good compression knee sleeve to see if it will help me continue to workout & get back to biking. Has anyone here tried a compression knee sleeve by Grip Power Pads? It looks great online, but I just wanted some advice before I make a purchase. Thanks.
 
IMO, compression of the knee joint during cycling causes more soft tissue irritation. IMO, the best treatment is good old RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) with some Heat too (not too close to the Ice). If its not quite bad enough to Rest, ICE post activity is even more important. NSAIDs may also be helpful.

NONE of what I am opining takes the place of seeing a doctor since I have no idea of the severity from reading a forum post.
