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.

This is most likely what you would have been given. Yes, it is used for tennis elbow. That is how I became familiar with it while in Germany, lugging suitcases around. It's not as strong as the prescription cream, Voltaren. I find it to be just as effective, but it does not work as long as Voltaren. Until I got soundwave therapy on my elbow, Kytta is what I used.

This product is a massager. It is used to aleviate the pain between the joints. To my knowledge tennis elbow is not pain in the joints so it probably might not work in the joints. I would think that a good topical rub that you can buy in the drug store would help when gently rubbed onto the painful area.

It won't help. It is an expensive placebo. The company has bought up a large number of fake web sites so that when you google "Penetrex scam" or "tennis elbow", "Hand pain" and a great deal of others, it links to purchasing the product. This highlights the need for fake websites. The product is a scam and has no analgesic effect other than massage, itself.

Well, it is meant to help tennis elbow and other wrist ailments, I wear it on my forearm just below my elbow.

I have used it on my hands - I have arthritis in my thumbs and it seems to help the aching.

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.

Since you ride, i suggest also getting your spine checked, the arm pain can come from either your elbow or a disc in the spine pinching your nerves. I've had all 3 injured at the same time and the hurt was like someone stabbed my upper am ad dragged it to my wrists. Had to have steroid injections into the disc, therapy for months and cps surgery. Just be vigilant with your joints & good luck!

My husband works out everday but can no longer lift heavy weights due to his elbow pain. I was wondering if this product would hurt his elbow as much as the free weights do. I think he ahs tennis elbow is what they call it (he is also an avid golfer). He has toned arms but wants them to be bigger. Is this the right product, or is this simply for tonig? Thanks for any suggestions.

I don't think it will help you.... because it's really designed to help divert pressure off of certain ligaments in your wrist that cause carpal tunnel. .. it definitely works for that purpose. So unless you are having wrist pain, this probably not the product for you.

Hi Billy,I wear it for everything except playing tennis. I haven't tried pushups with it yet, but I have done light exercises with weights. This brace, according to the website, works best for OUTER wrist pain, not inner wrist pain. Check out their website; I know they encourage you to try several exercises to see if the brace will help. Good luck!Chris

EliteFTS and some other companies have a strap that goes around your forearm/elbow area for that problem. You can relieve the problem and let it heal but you must deactivate the tendon, which is hard to do, so that it can rest and heal. That is what the arm straps do, they put pressure on the tendon so that it deactivates. Of course some therapy work is probably necessary too, but that's the main way to deal with the problem immediately or so you can continue doing your other lifts at the gym.

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.

Putting the arm under helps a bit, but if you go all night like that you may get your arm tingled. Or take the arm out in your sleep and had the neck pain at the morning as a result...

I use this elbow support every time I play disc golf. Its a major help for tennis and golf elbow as it applies pressure consistently. We throw discs up to 400 feet with full velocity in our sport and it can cause severe soreness. the elbow support definitely helps.

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 could since it places pressure on the area right in front of the elbow. If you're having combo pain, like elbow/ shoulder or elbow/ forearm/ wrist see a doctor. They can hook you up with the right wraps that will work together.Tennis elbow, the medical term is Lateral Epicondylitis occurs when inflammation of the tendons that join the forearm muscles on the outside of the elbow are overuse, or repeating the same motions again & again. It can also happen if the tendons are always locked in the same position for long periods of time. (This is all the info from my local pharmacist.) So if thats it, you got it and this may band help.
