Elbow Brace Compression Sleeve (1 Pair) - Instant Arm Support Elbow Sleeves for Tendonitis, Arthritis, Bursitis, Golfers & Tennis Elbow Brace, Treatment, Workouts, Weightlifting, Pain Relief, Recovery

I'm a 4-day a week gym goer and the stress of weightlifting/bodybuilding is starting to take it's toll. Exercise recovery has slowed down quite a bit since I turned 40. Joints are sore compared to twenty years ago. I needed to replace an old pair of sports store brand elbow sleeves and the price was right with these compression sleeves. They are much tighter than what I was used to which was one of the reasons I wanted them. I don't see my forearms and biceps getting much bigger but even it I were to gain 2-3 inches, these would still fit. The first thing I noticed after a week was that I have very minimal golfer/tennis elbow symptoms. I don't notice any swelling and if there is, it's been minimized. On exercises such as farmer's carry, shoulder shrugs and dead-lifts, my elbows would get very sore and inflamed once I was done. My technique is near flawless and the only place I feel pulling forces are at my elbows. The sleeves have helped tremendously. I don't know the science behind it but i think it has something to do with keeping the arm and joint warm by helping circulation. I would recommend these for anyone suffering from or rehabilitating golfer/tennis elbow, or have had some injury to their arms.

I'll start by saying I have eczema on my fingers/hands, feet, and part of my leg, so my skin is already a bit sensitive. When I wear these sleeves for more than an hour, I get really itchy because of the way it's designed and the material used. So I recommend if you have sensitive skin, either wrap your arm in a thin layer of soft material or moisturize yourself before putting the sleeve on, or you might get irritated and itchy. I have an old skateboarding injury that I'm constantly tweaking and re-injuring because of the way I sleep. Lately it's been causing weakness and pain when I try to lift anything over 2 pounds. So I bought these awesome compression sleeves. If I'm already hurting before bed, I'll sleep with them on, otherwise, I only really use them when I'm already hurting, or if I know I'm going to be lifting something. The difference is night and day most of the time. A lot of the times I don't even notice that my arm had been bothering me before. I absolutely recommend it for anyone whose been dealing with weakness in their forearm and pain around the forearm and elbow. Just keep an eye on your skin if you have sensitive skin. Oh, one other thing, I wish the material was slightly more breathable, but it's not a big issue. Also, be careful when putting this on if it's a tight fit (it already should be to some degree). The material does have grip to it, but if it's catching on your forearm as you put it on, be careful, and maybe look away. One day my fingers slipped off when I was pulling it over my elbow and I punched myself in the lip... enough to bleed (and also feel completely embarrassed even though I was alone).

I had bursitis, my elbow looked like it had half a tennis ball attached.. Doc said ice, ibuprofen and compression. I was leaving for a week in Mexico, and these arrived just in time. I kept one on all week, they provided enough support and pressure to keep the elbow from hurting but didn't interfere with any other activity. Comfort level was a 5/5, not too tight, just snugged right up. They breathed well and even though it was hot they seemed to wick away any sweat, they never got sticky or uncomfortable. I had purchased another brand as well, those went in the trash (where they belonged), this pair went in the drawer in case I ever need them again (I hope I don't, but if I do I know I can count on them)

I bought this to try to alleviate worsening pain in my elbow that was being exacerbated by having my elbows resting on the arms of the chair when I'm using my laptop. These definitely help! The pain has subsided over the last week. Not all gone, but it no longer keeps me up at night or bothers me during normal use. The sizing was right on; I was concerned because my upper arms are a lot bigger than my lower, but it fits well. Compresses so it'd look funny if I went out, but great at home, which is where I need them anyway. I did have problems with it rolling down, especially when bending my elbow to less than 90 degrees. I found that if I pull the sleeve up higher, that gets better. If you had to use them during an activity where you are bending your elbow a lot, and have the anatomy issue I have, it would be annoying.

I measured my elbow area as suggested by the manufacturer, size M was indicated. However that size did not work. I then ordered one size up (large) and yet I also feel that size is too small. Personally I feel that there has to be a way to include the size of the person's bicep for a more comfortable fit. I do not want to go up to an x-large as I think at that point the fit around my elbow would be too loose. There's a faint 'arrow' pattern on the sleeve that's mid-pattern on the sleeve, was that suppose to be fitted around my elbow area? Couldn't find info on that anywhere on the package. I've used the product, so I will not return it. Still on the hunt for a sleeve that will feel more comfortable, perhaps one that isn't as 'long'. I am dealing with a bicep strain. This was my personal experience, good luck to all.
