Vive Elbow Brace - Tennis Compression Sleeve - Wrap for Golfers, Bursitis, Left or Right Arm - Tendonitis Support Strap for Golf, Men and Women - Epicondylitis and Sports Recovery

Unfortunately, I have had more than my share of injuries that required braces of various kinds. Many of them are *not* comfortable, and can't be worn for extended periods of time without discomfort. Earlier this year, I injured my elbow in a fall and developed Olecrannon Bursitis--a painful condition in which the skin over the tip of the elbow inflates with fluid. It's quite painful and since it sticks out a bit I tended to hit it on just about everything! My doctor aspirated the thing (drained it with a big needle--yes it did hurt!), wrapped it, and told me I needed to keep it wrapped for a while so it wouldn't re-inflate. This was my solution instead of constantly having to wrap and unwrap the arm, and it worked great! So much more comfortable! I continued to wear it for longer than she recommended to cushion it while it healed because it remained tender, and it was comfortable enough to wear all day, no problem. This is one of the best braces of the many I own. It's also easier to put on than most because it has an inner thin, stretchy layer that's like a tube--you put your arm through the tube, and then the firmer outer layers wrap around the arm, stretching as much as needed, and velcro holds them in place. The inner "tube" section is what makes it so easy to put on because it holds it in place so it doesn't shift or fall off the arm as you try to stretch the outer layers. Hope that made sense! In any case, it is an easy to use, comfortable, and therapeutic brace for a reasonable price.

Tried several compression sleeves for my elbow bursitis. This one, with the material sleeve inside the wrap is very comfortable with far less itching than other braces. and effectively protects and help heal my bursitis. Great product!!

So, I developed bursitis in my elbow which is something I had never experienced before. Just one day noticed a nice bump and took to figuring out what it was. In the meantime I iced it and then saw that it might be a good idea to get a brace. Brace came the next day which was perfect and it’s really pretty good and straightforward to use. I actually forgot I was wearing in when I started to take a shower meaning it is comfortable enough. After a couple of days, it does become a little irritating and I did wind up itching but if you have anything on that long you should expect that. Overall it does the job and it was a good buy as far as I’m concerned!

One size does not fit all. I love the elbow padding but if I got it tight enough to work, the inside sleeve material folded in. Have to return it. Bigger arms should feel well supported.

I have worn this brace for about since August 2024 and it helped with my Bursitis on my elbow. I had a nice size bump and wearing this brace after about couple of months the bump went away. Plus it has a nice padding which helps protect my elbow and it's not to thick. I can wear this under my dress shirt and it's hardly recognizable.

Fits on elbow well. Gives me a cushion on my elbow when I put it down on hard surfaces. Has good quality material.

The doctor recommended I purchase an elbow brace for my bursitis. This one was just what I needed. It fits well, and gives just the right amount of compression.

If I put my arm through the sleeve part, I can't even get it slid up to my elbow. I measured my arms first and they were 16" and my forearm is like 13" while this was advertised to go up to 17.5". If I forgo the compression sleeve, the straps fit fine, but then it's not a compression sleeve anymore so... not sure what to do about this yet, but thought i'd share since others with bigger arms might be looking into this product. I tried sliding it on in both directions with the straps undone so not sure what I may have done wrong here.
