Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter explains why knee sleeves, braces, creams, and massage guns waste money without a diagnosis. He argues that most people buy these products to avoid seeing a doctor, but a proper evaluation first saves thousands and actually fixes the problem.
If you have an entire drawer dedicated to the things that were supposed to help you fix your pain, then watch this. A knee sleeve, 2 braces, 3 creams, a massage gun, supplements that you stopped taking after 9 days. Individually, none of these purchases seem too expensive, but when you add them all together, you may have spent hundreds or even thousands of dollars trying to avoid one appointment with a doctor, and you still don't know why you hurt. So before you buy the next miracle solution, get that joint properly evaluated. You may not need to buy another product. You may actually just need a diagnosis. Diagnosis and a plan.
