Review on πŸŒ™ Adjustable Compression Elbow Stabilizer Brace Splint for Adults - Night Sleeping Support for Pain Relief in Cubital Tunnel Syndrome and Tendonitis by Seth Torres

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Since using these tires I have slept through the night.

I have bilateral ulnar nerve entrapment that my doctor and podiatrist have diagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome, and in each case I dispute the diagnosis. A few weeks later I tore a biceps tendon, the biceps turned black and blue almost immediately, after a few days the color started to fade, so I took a picture. During a follow up visit to the doctor who said it was CTS and arthritis due to calcium in the shoulder x-ray, I told the nurse I had torn a biceps tendon but she ignored it. On my next visit to FU I brought the picture, showed it to the nurse, and before the doctor came in the door, she told him with my picture that I had torn my biceps tendon. They then sent me for a spinal CT scan and EMG to rule out CTS and diagnose bilateral ulnar neuropathy. When I went back to my sleep doctor, he referred me to a neurologist that I had been seeing for over 6 years who did an EMG test and agreed with the diagnosis. I recently got a new nurse who has the same doctor as her boss who does an EMT test again to rule out the same CTS results. I take gabapentin 600mg 3 times a day and wake up 2-3 times each night with numbness and pain in my arms. She said the only solution was surgery, which is what they said when CTS was diagnosed. never woke up. With both hands in the splints, it's difficult to adjust the straps, so I pinch my pajama sleeves when I put the splints on, then fold the cuffs over the splints and wrap paper tape around the cuff and splint.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
