THR I now have a matching set!
@Cynthia777 good question... I injured that knee 20 yrs ago in college. I as worked up by an OS that said I "stretched" my ACL.

I use Cryoderm but there are many different brands on the market. Bengay, biofreeze, icyhot, etc. It REALLY helped me. Be reassured that this...- cj19mann
