DynaNail TTC Patient Testimonial - David Johnston

This DonJoy knee brace is indeed a joy. It instills a sense of confidence. Going up stairs is no longer a major undertaking, and bending to do a little gardening is also much easier. I highly recommend the DonJoy OA REACTION WEB to anyone suffering from arthritis.

I have always wanted to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and decided this was the year. I spent multiple months training and preparing to summit the "Roof of Africa" when I tore my medial meniscus just weeks before realizing my dream. The MRI also showed I have grade 3 degeneration of the cartilage in my right knee, this was a result of surgery on my ACL&MCL 20 years ago. Needless to say, I was in shock about the diagnosis. I spoke with my orthopedist and he recommended I speak with a DonJoy representative about the situation.

My DonJoy Female Force has been there with me while going through the hardest thing in my life. I tore my ACL and meniscus almost a year and a half ago while pitching. The rehab was tough. Being away from my teammates was tougher. Being away from fastpitch, the game I love, for almost 9 months was the toughest. I used my DonJoy through the rehab, on my first game back, and still to this day. I am so thankful for the peace of mind and confidence my DonJoy brace gives me to go out and be the best I can for me, my teammates, my coaches, and my family. Thank you DonJoy!

I've had my DonJoy for about 10 years due to some medial meniscus issues. It has always brought immediate relief as soon as I put it on but I learned just how strong it was this week when I fell off a scooter while wearing my brace in Panama. I was wearing my brace as I always do on long-walking days (thankfully) and as I crashed into my left leg, the one with the DonJoy, the brace almost completely protected my entire leg of injury. I have one scratch on the part of my knee that wasn't covered but that's it!

I have had two major injuries during my career—both ACL tears. There is a lot of pressure inside and outside of schools and organizations to recover quickly, which I appreciate, but it’s up to young athletes, parents and coaches to take steps to recover safely and guard against injury and re-injury. This will only allow for a stronger, better return to sport in the long run.

I was devastated when I tore my ACL last Winter playing basketball. I underwent surgery in mid March 2016 and then started the long 6 month rehab. My true love is softball and my high school season started before I was released, but with the help of my athletic trainer and the titanium brace I was able to slip right back into my starting catcher position on our varsity team. I was honored to be chosen for first team all districts and all region post season. We ended the season in the Quarterfinals. Thanks to my DonJoy brace I was able to go right back to what I love.

— Emily Fair

DonJoy has provided relief and stability for me for over a decade now, and I can honestly say it is the best product on the market and the quality is superior. My DonJoy knee brace and I were inseparable after five knee surgeries to repair ACL and meniscus tears during my high school years.

Competitive equestrian here. This past winter I spun my ankle while competing in my other passion (ski racing) and managed to do a high sprain and ATF sprain on the same ankle, as well as tendon damage. My therapist, Justin Lewis RMT, recommended a DonJoy brace to help me through recovery and I'm impressed.

— Katie

I just wanted to thank you all very much. I served four years in the USMC in the infantry, and I completed 2 combat tours (Iraq and Afghanistan.) While in Afghanistan our constant patrols and strenuous missions took a tool on my knee. I got out in 2011 and the VA was quick to operate on my knee. However, it only made my pain worse. I've suffered with severe pain and limited activity for 3 years. I'm thankful to now be able to keep up with my children and their active lifestyles.
