My husband has golf elbow and has had pain for awhile. Tired of him complaining and bought him the sleeve! It really works! He wears almost every day!

My husband has tendonitis (tennis elbow). I decided to give Tommy Copper a try after the other braces and compression bands failed. It works for him. Hope this helps.

Depends on what you mean by, 'upper arm pain'. I got my elbow sleeve because I blew out my elbow lifting extra sized bales of hay. This was physical damage and the sleeve did not do much for that, but did offer some bracing and support. I believe it would be most helpful for someone who just has sore muscles from a hard workout.

If by the top of the hand, you mean palm, then yes, it does cover that part. You can manipulate it a little big, too. Also, Jessica, if you purchase it and it doesn't work for you, amazon has a fantastic return policy. I know that's a pain, but if it's not what you need, then don't keep it. I hope you get relief soon. If there is any thing else I can help you with, let me know. Hand pain is just a pain, isn't it?

I honestly think it can because before I bought it I hesitated whether it is made of hard or soft material. When I got it I was really happy. It does the work effectively. If you do bicep curl, you should fasten it little up close to lower part of palm, that might solve your problem. However, I bought it for some bench and shoulder press

I believe it would be great for your arthritis. I got it because I was diagnosed with tendinitis & golfers elbow. I have very tiny wrists. It works for me great! I use it 5 times a day. Cold first then I heat it up in water as the instructions say to. I do however use a paper towel for both as it does get cold/hot but when it wears off, I remove the paper towel. I love this product and highly recommend it.

It puts pressure on the ligament that gets sore in tennis elbow and "sort of" immobilizes it. It was recommended by my ocupational therapist. Do not expect instant relief, but then tennis elbow doesn't go away right away anyway.

If you mean Tennis elbow vs Golf elbow, it is just worn with pad on a different part of your arm.

I use the the 5mm knee sleeve for basketball and running. It has allowed me to return to these activities without the pain that was shutting me down. I'm almost positive that this sleeve would offer the same pain reduction and support for tennis.

I'm not sure this will be the right product for you. It does provide compression it is minimal the closer to the wrist you go. I bought this for my son who plays football and uses it to prevent turf burn. If you needed compression higher like elbow area I would say yes.

Not sure, but all my pain is in my neck and shoulders and it helps ease neck pain significantly. I think it certainly helps.

I have used it on my upper back and it has helped with back pain from time to time. Sometimes I get a pinched nerve right below my shoulder blades and rolling this up and down the length of my spine seems to help it. The nubs hurt while doing it, but the next day it feels a lot better.

No, John, I found no improvement or noticeable difference on my arms. This is what I bought it for.....my upper arms. Save your money!

Yes, upper arms and head are also fine. Thighs will benefit, so long as you have patience. I would not use it on delicate breast tissue.

Yes it does obviously, unless you want to restring your tennis racquet with better quality strings which may give more power and tension, i know some people get it done for around 5-30 bucks.

It does help with tight muscles. After running, my hamstrings and calves are pretty tight but this definitely helps relieve the tension. As for upper back, I do feel some relief and less spasms. So I would say it does help with trigger points. Plus, you can always use a golf ball or tennis or lacrosse ball for a specific spot if you want to be cost efficient.

I use mine for racquetball after a torn rotator cuff. I like it. It seems to give the needed support.

Should help. I'd also do some of the exercises in "Treat Your Own Carpal Tunnel Syndrome" too to help avoid problems.

The answers about pressure on ligaments sounds right to me... from an anecdotal point of view, it makes my elbow pain go away... I bought a second one so I will have it available when I bowl or play badminton. I had a pain in my elbow above and below the elbow, not sure why but after using the bandit the pain is reduced and my elbow feels much better. I don't know if it's just a placebo effect but for the cost I'm good with it. I highly recommend it. It also doesn't make my elbow sweat like the compression bands and elbow sleeves do. It doesn't smell after use... a side benefit. Hope this helps you decide to get one... you can't go wrong for the price The answers about pressure on ligaments sounds right to me... from an anecdotal point of view, it makes my elbow pain go away...
