Review on ๐Ÿคพ McDavid 512 Elastic Elbow Sleeve: Flexible Support for Active Elbows by Joshua Turner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best compression sleeve, order another one now.

I've had tennis and golf elbow for about 4 years, mostly on my left hand - until recently. After such a bad tendonitis in my left hand, I started compensating more with my right hand and now I have problems with my right hand (reason to order another one). I bought my first McDavid case 3 years ago and literally wore it every day. Always at work and always with any physical activity, including cleaning windows or dusting. I have washed it countless times and it has never lost its elasticity. I wear it in the sun and it's still dark black. I like the fact that it stays in place and doesn't move when worn. It is not too bulky and can easily be worn under shirts and jackets. Long-sleeved shirts can be worn over them, unlike some Velcro braces. Any product that works flawlessly for several years without any sign of failure deserves a good rating. Oh, I'm 130 pounds, have a 10 inch elbow and wear a small sleeve. Some reviewers say it's too tight, but for me it's fine. It leaves marks on the skin when worn for 8 hours, but it's not so dense that it cuts off blood flow. I can't recommend it highly enough. If tennis elbow is really bothering me and I'm about to do something that I know will injure my elbow (mowing, washing the car, digging the grass) I can clip the tennis elbow strap over this sleeve without feeling any pain . usually until I delete everything after the activity. Side note: I've tried literally half a dozen different braces, sleeves, flimsy copper scraps, and this beats them all. I might order 2 or 3 to ensure I have one for years to come. Oh I am not affiliated with any company or seller and I have not received a discount on anything, I just love it when a product works.

Pros
