Great support and warmth! Comforting on a sore elbow., March 11, 2010
I bought this at my local grocery store although the name is printed smaller on the edge of mine, but otherwise it looks just like this one. I've had "tennis elbow" since Christmas this year due to a day of scraping lots of ice off our cars and shoveling. When it didn't get better within a few weeks of resting, ice, and self-massaging it, I began googling for answers and decided this was my problem. This product does exactly what I needed and I think it only cost about $7-8 at my grocery store. It adjusts easily with velcro and I prefer to wear it over a thin turtleneck sleeve for softness and to keep it clean although next to the skin it is comfortable also. Seems to reduce the pain I feel although at first I could only wear it for a few hours at a time and then it would ache so I'd take it off. Don't give up!! Keep working with it. I used ice sometimes to if I had overused my arm on a particular day and that helped also. After a few days I realized it was feeling better the longer I left it on, and now I have been wearing it all day every day and I think it is getting much better. I can use my arm more comfortably when wearing it. I think the support is helping to keep me from re-injuring it during normal daily activities. What I didn't realize was how WARM it would get underneath it and I think that is helping also. I try to position it so the double layer part of the strap is right over the most tender spot in the muscle and the extra warmth feels wonderful. I will update again later if I have more information as my arm/elbow heals. I truly think my elbow was not improving any further until I started to use this. I love it!

ahh that feels better, October 28, 2009
This product worked exactly as expected. It eased pain due to tendonitis, was comfortable, and most importantly it was large enough to fit my arm.

This is a simpler version of tendon support than the others I've used; it's simply a velcro strap that adjusts around your arm with no pressure plate or insert for the problem area. I expected that it wouldn't help due to that, but it does help some. Easy enough to make, it reminds me of the first support band I made out of duct tape when I had to keep working. I also have a velcro strap with a luggage handle I adapted to do the same thing. Like this one, they are all far better than using an ACE bandage type wrap, which is wrong for this problem. I don't recommend this as your only support strap, but it is easy to keep oriented (no orientation!) and may be the right one to use for some people, sometimes. I kept mine, but prefer others, like the Bandit and Serola. Cheap enough to keep around as a spare.
