Dr. Arthritis Doctor Developed Copper Elbow Brace & Elbow Support Sleeve and Handbook Relief for Tennis Elbow, Elbow Compression & Support (X-Large (Pack of 1))

I had purchased the wrist bands and was very impressed with that product. I am actually wearing them now as I type because of carpal tunnel syndrome. They asked me to test other products which I agreed to and this was one of them. I had a bout of tendinitis coming on after bowling one Friday. I am 64 and in pretty good shape but I did a lot of physical stuff in my younger years so my joints are paying for it now. I could not extend my arm fully and trying to reach behind my back was almost impossible. The pain was bad and I have a lot of tolerance to pain. I put on this Elbow sleeve and at first I noticed that my arm and elbow had a sensation of coolness. It provided a lot of support but was not restrictive to motion and comfortable to wear. And did I mention that it felt cool on, not hot and sticky. I wore it off and on for 3 days and even overnight with no issues other than it mitigated the elbow pain effectively until the tendinitis abated. They guarantee on the box that this product works and I agree with that statement after having been a user with a elbow that works pain free.

It fits longer on my arm than the picture shows. I guess I have shorter arms. It is a thin spandex material with a 1/2 in rubber like band that holds it in place on the upper arm which irritates a little after a while, but surprisingly it helps somewhat with the arthritic pain I've been having in my right elbow. I notice the throbbing is not as intense while wearing it.

Keep in mind they do fit small and I have somewhat a small left arm so if you want it not so tight get a size up, I purchased a medium and exchange for a large. I was born with a bad elbow and the bone is misshapen so I purchased this to keep everything nice and together because a brace doesn't offer much flexibility like a sleeve. I get really bad cramps or the bones jam together and it hurts and since I purchased this I am not afraid to extend my arm out fully any more in the fears of those bone pops or jams, everything is compressed and supported snug even the muscles. I am not sure if is the the copper, since it is a metal, but I get a cooling sensation, the takes my mind off the aches I also get with my bad elbow. I feel the coolness especially when I flex hard my forearm. I can't believe I did not buy this years ago, will buy another once this wears out but its feels tough and high quality. Alot of these on the market but this one is one of the better choices I think. I like that they advertise openly the copper content on the product details.edit: forgot to say it has a copper color tint to it especially in bright white lights, which is kind of neat and people notice.

Item was delivered as promised. However, size is very small. I ordered a large and it is too tight for me to wear.

I bought the elbow compression sleeve because of ocranion bursitis. I needed it to keep bursa fluid from building up on my elbow while my elbow was just about healed. I've been using it about 4 weeks now switching between 2 sleeves daily. I will continue to use it for a few more weeks to train my elbow it doesn't need to fill up with fluid to protect the injured and infected elbow. The sleeves are still doing good work, keeping compression on my elbow. You will have to pull the sleeve back up over the muscle above the elbow because your muscle will try to push the sleeve toward your elbow. Overall I've been quite happy with my purchase and its done what it suppose to do.

Had elbow bursitis and after having it drained, my doctor suggested to use a compression sleeve to tighten the elbow area and prevent swelling. Goal was to wear it for 3 months. I purchased the Dr. Arthritis compression sleeve after measuring my elbow. It was nice and snug when putting it on and it stayed in place all day. I put it on in the morning and took it off after around 10-12 hours. After around 5 weeks, the compression lost its snugness and started to slip down my arm requiring me to frequently pull it up. Overall, the compression capability doesn't hold up. I'm now looking at other brands.

(Updated) I don't write many reviews, but I felt I needed to for this one. The product I got does not match the fit and style of the product I ended up getting. In fact, the product in the box does not match does not even match the image (fit) of what was shown on the box.What I wanted was a sleeve that covered the elbow. What I got was a sleeve that covers the entire arm down to the wrist.Update- The vendor read my review and went beyond what I was expecting to ensure my satisfaction. I just want to be clear, my review did not say the product does not work. It was that it did not match what was pictured in the listing or box. If that is not a critical factor, the product is fine.So maybe it works, but it was not what I wanted.

I bought this compression sleeve hoping to alleviate pain from Tennis Elbow. The sleeve fit as measured with the chart. I have only used it once but noticed considerably less ache / pain in my elbow. I ride a bike and lift weights several times a week and was able to ride and lift weights with much less pain than I have in several months. I sometimes use a tennis elbow strap around my forearm which helps but this sleeve seems to work better so far and is more comfortable. I have never used a compression sleeve so I can't tell if the copper has anything to do with it. I almost bought a more expensive / thicker one thinking it had more support but just having the compression seems to do the trick. Plus I can wear this under my clothes at work and it won't be noticeable. The price was great so if it wore out in a couple months I would just buy another one.
