Sports Medicine Tennis Elbow Support Strap, Elbow Pain Relief Brace for Men and Women

I get horrible tennis elbow if I play without a brace. This one works perfectly.

I have a long standing problem with a sore forearm and some tendinitis in my right elbow, probably from a combination of weight lifting and bowling. So I need some protection, especially when I bowl. This strap seems to work quite well. It is comfortable and well constructed, and gives good support. The level of support is very easily adjustable by tightening or loosening the strap, which is held securely in place by Velcro. I like that it is fairly flat, and so doesn't get in my way during bowling, as a previous strap I used stuck out to far and would sometimes snag on my hip. This support is also ideal for me, as my area of soreness is fairly large, and this strap evenly supplies pressure over its width. If your symptoms are more localized (lateral or medial epicondylitis, eg), you might be better served by a forearm strap with a small air bag to give more localized support. Recommended.

I don't play tennis but here I was with tennis elbow. Go figure.I was disheartened when I learned that a wrap was the only relief I could get for the pain I have suffered for months. I was highly doubtful that it would work but I didn't have a lot to lose.After reading the reviews I settled on this one because it was over four stars and the cheapest one. Mainly because it is so cheap. I put it in right away and had to work with the tightness for a whole day to find what passes for comfort. It's a week later and there is significant improvement to my pain and I don't even wear it all day. I am delighted and relieved.I haven't given it five stars for the following reasons.* it isn't what I really call comfortable. It is either too loose or has a lot of pressure when I bend my arm but the pressure is the point, right.* it needs more padding between my arm and the band. After a few hours I have to take it off because it tends to kind of cut into my arm. Maybe a more expensive one will have the padding. For now I just take it off now and again or turn it some.The positive points*IT RELIEVED MOST OF MY PAIN AFTER A FEW DAYS! Even after I take it of for a little while it feels fine.* it stays in place even when I am very active. I garden a lot and even this it make the one spot sweat it stays in place.* It's well made and the velcro is holding up.*IT RELIEVES MOST OF MY PAIN! I can't express this enough. The negative points are worth it. Almost anything g is worth it after months of pain.I would suggest this to anyone.

The most important thing to realize with products like this is that as humans we all have different physiology and our levels of pain will vary between individuals. In other words, what works for one person doesn't mean it will work for another. I bought this elbow brace after reading many of the reviews. I also read reviews from people who bought the more expensive elbow supports. Every product review I read were mixed. I decided to buy Mueller brace because it seemed durable and well put together, which it is. I also purchased the product because it was less expensive than other similar products. I have tried the product for about a week and it does seem to help to minimize some of the pain. Generally speaking, it reduces the pain in half. If you rub some active-on your elbow and take a couple of ibuprofen along with the brace, the pain gets definitely better. I won't say this is a good or bad product, just don't expect any miracles from it. For the price I paid, I can't complain too much. Perhaps when the weather heats up the tendonitis will give me a much needed break.

My elbow pain has improved greatly with the past 3 days using this product. It is easy to put on and adjust, feels comfortable enough (considering that it has to constrict your arm to do any good) and so far I have no negative issues. The price was very reasonable and it arrived quickly. It fits under a dress shirt and is unnoticeable under the sleeve. Wearing a short-sleeved shirt, it doesn't look bad at all. I am able do do yard work and use a computer mouse for long periods of time now...I had been in a great deal of pain previously. I do remove the support at night, but have been sleeping better because my elbow is not hurting while I am tying to get to sleep. As inexpensive as this item is, I'd recommend that you try it if you have elbow/arm pain of the type referred to as "tennis elbow" (lateral epichondylitis--look it up to see if this is is what is affecting you). You may find, as I have, that it alleviates the pain (and I am hoping that it may allow the area to heal).

The product is nicely made, but doesn't have any elasticity, so it doesn't work as needed. I don't know about you, but my arm is not a uniform thickness along the entire forearm. It tapers from my elbow to my wrist. But this arm band is designed to wrap around a perfectly uniform cylinder. So the edge nearest my elbow is crushing into my arm, but the edge nearest my wrist has enough room for me to put a finger under. And since it has no flex, when I make a fist (like to hold something), it's really tight, but when my arm is relaxed, the arm band almost slides down.It's not worth the trouble to return a $7 item, so I'll add it to my collection of occasionally-needed ortho stuff. But I'm going to keep looking for something that works for me.
