knee sleeve

So I picked up these knee sleeves today. http://www.courtsidesports.com/store/product/9497/Nike-Open-Patella-Knee-Sleeve/

I actually had to take 2 and a half weeks off from working out because my knee joints were so messed up. My progress on squats started to regress and if I ever got into the squat position around the house it would hurt like hell.

So I was wondering if wearing these every time I work out is beneficial? If not I'm going to take the damn things back because I paid $52 Canadian for two of them.

I wear them on most squat sessions these days. They do a good job of warming up the knees and keeping them warm. They probably provide a few pounds of help out of the hole but I can live with that.
