McDavidElastic Elbow Support

I ordered the medium size and it arrived one day before the expected delivery date, I love when that happens. I've had some type of tendonitis in my elbow that had been getting increasingly worse. I am a dart player and throw a lot of darts which I think caused some type of repetitive stress issue. For years, I've had a "click" in my elbow when I throw a dart, but it never became painful until a few months ago, I assumed it was something like "tennis elbow".Anyway, I thought a sleeve like the ones I see NBA players wearing might help, I've worn compression braces on my knee in the past and thought this might be a good idea. I read all the reviews of similar products here on Amazon and this one seemed like the best value for the price, I paid about 10 bucks, which is about the most I was willing to pay to try this out.I ordered a medium and it was not too tight, I have pretty average arm circumference, not too muscular nor too skinny. This sleeve is very comfortable and provides a very nice tight level of compression. My elbow feels very stable with this on. I have tried throwing darts with it on and it really minimizes the pain I was feeling at the end of full arm extension where my tendons would feel like they were being scraped against a rock inside my elbow. It also seems to give my arm a bit more elasticity, the compression helping my forward throwing motion, like my arm had a spring or an elastic assisting the throw.The material is not like spandex or similar materials and is supposed to breathe better than other sleeves. It's summer here right now and very hot anyways, so it's hard for me to judge this, but it doesn't seem to cause as much sweating or heat discomfort as I recall my old knee brace did.All in all, I'm very happy with this, my only concern being how long the product will last before it becomes loose or loses it's compression. I'll find out in time, I guess, but I would buy this product again. This is my first experience with the McDavid brand (they only seem to have futuro in stores around here), and I'm impressed, especially for the price.

I dislocated my elbow about 8 months ago very seriously. I was in a splint for a while followed by 2 months in a brace that limited my movement. I also had to attend PT (physical therapy) twice a week for 2 months.I live a very active lifestyle and needed a way to work out. All weight lifting was ruled out for 2 months so I began to run as soon as my PT cleared me for aerobic activity. I could not run with the brace on even though my PT recommended I wear it ( it was bulky and heavy) so I purchased this support to wear while I ran instead of the brace. Without the support it hurt to run. All the bouncing caused pain in my injured elbow and it was too difficult to keep my elbow bent because I had lost so much muscle. With it on, my elbow was kept tight enough that the bouncing did not cause pain. It was still difficult at first to keep my elbow bent but definitely easier than without the support.Once I was cleared for lifting I started to do so, again while wearing the support. I still use it to this day. My elbow never fully recovered and unfortunately never fully will. I still have pains sometimes they day after lifting that are related to my injury. It is hard to judge how much this helps because I never lift without it but I believe it is helping. If nothing else, it is giving me the confidence to do exercises that I would not have to confidence to do without it.Overall, a great product. If you have an elbow injury, this will not make the problem go away completely but it will help with recovery.

Most of my elbow pain over the past 10 years or so is due to advancing age and a 3x/weekly regimen of weight lifting/training. I'm not an authority on orthopedics or, obviously, a physician but do know a thing or two about lifting weights, having done that for the past 40 years or so. It's a double edged sword effect at some stage in life for most all people which is to say the benefits of weight training have to be sorted out against the pain it creates in various body parts.The tendons sometimes become inflamed, or worse, stretched or torn which results in an inability to continue without some mitigating factor to alleviate the pain. That's where the McDavid Elbow Support compression sleeves come in and do the job. I had been using those elbow support braces with the Velcro straps which were just OK but not quite the answer. THIS product returned immediate results the first time I put them on prior to a workout session and have done so consistently since. I used the basic guide others have listed here to help determine the size to order, then took it down a size because I wanted the maximum compression while still allowing for freedom of movement in the arms.I'm 6'4" and weigh in a 245 lbs at this writing, to give you a reference and ordered the MEDIUM size sleeves which work perfect for my needs. They really help eliminate the pain while providing the snug support to buoy my confidence in attempting the various weight lifting tasks including curls, forearms, pull-downs, delts and triceps disciplines. If you're a tennis player and have the dreaded 'tennis elbow', I'd certainly try these sleeves. We all need a little help from our friends to get through life on occasion and McDavid's product profiled here is my latest buddy.

I tried several different sleeves. I’m so happy I finally found one that works for me! I recently had surgery on both arms for cubital tunnel, and now have bursitis on both elbows with lateral and medial epicondylitis. This sleeves provides support and helps relieve some pain.These are very tight which I don’t mind and actually prefer. I measured 9.5’ and purchased a SMALL from a local store. I wanted a 2nd pair and ordered size MEDIUM from Amazon. I don’t notice much of a difference between the 2 sizes.

Lo compré debido a que tengo una lesión en el codo desde hace 1 mes aproximadamente, no podía hacer ejercicio de tricep en el gimnasio debido a ésta. La manga sin lugar a dudas ayuda, se siente más protegido el codo.

Fürs Thaiboxtraining am Sandsack sehr gut geeignet. Damit der Ellenbogen nicht immer blutig danach wird, durch den Rieb am Boxsack.

Gran calidad y muy buen agarre y sujeción.

Para el precio me parece de muy buen calidad, en la piel se siente bien y cumple su función... Me compré dos de hecho.

en mi caso tuve una tendonitis, no podia estirar el brazo por completo ni doblarlo por completo.la codera me auxilio con la recuperacion debida. sin apretarme tanto ni estando holgada.
