OTC Band Forearm Compression Strap Review

The over the counter version of this device matched the cost of a high quality orthopedic brace and I was concerned that buyers of the less expensive versions would complain of poor padding or thin plastic. From the attached photos you can see that the OTC is very reliable and well made (in the US no less). I am very happy with this choice recommended to me by my OT therapist.

An orthopedist diagnosed my husband with tennis elbow and recommended this remedy for pain. He found it helped a little, but sometimes it seemed to make things worse. Long story short, he turned out to have Hodgkin lymphoma on his humerus, and that may have contributed to the swelling that developed around that spot on his arm. We are not blaming the product per se but are posting this to let people know that if it seems like it could make things worse return to your doctor just to rule out…

This one was the best. I bought 4 different straps from Revain and 2 sleeves. All the straps I bought came with soft gel or foam pads. But they all had the same results for me, not enough pressure on my forearm. I was still in a lot of pain from playing tennis and I have a small forearm so when tightening the rest I ran out of velcro. But this one was amazing! I like how pressure is applied to the muscles from above and below. This kept the forearm really stable. I had no pain after playing…

I wore it for about a week and decided to return it because my arm hurt like other braces. Well I forgot to return it over the weekend and wore it to work as best I could. I work 24 hours a day, 5-6 days a week, mostly with hammer drills and Milwaukee or Corse hammer drills. I don't know if I have tennis elbow or golfer's elbow, but it works for both. I highly recommend you try it out for a few weeks. If it's not for you, send it back. Sometimes it slips off when it's sweaty, but I'm in hot…

As soon as this product arrived in the mail I put it on as instructed and within minutes I noticed the pain relief I was feeling. I wear it all day every day and am very happy with the results. However, it is not a cure or a cure. I still can't raise that hand even though I'm wearing a bandage. But before I put it on, I felt nauseous all the time. Now there is almost no pain. Happy with the result. Of course I still have to go to physiotherapy. The only odd thing was the instructions. It was an

I am delighted to receive this item and to see that it is the same quality as the first Band-it I bought in 2015. This bandage is very well made, comfortable and simple. in use. A week earlier I bought a cheaper BAnd-it from Revain and at first I thought it was a fake. I bought these braces to compare and later found that there are several versions of the 'same' braces on the market. Truform, Proband and Bird & Cronin are brands that make their own versions of these braces and not all are of…

I have searched for over 10 years to find a forearm brace that will relieve and prevent further pain/damage from lateral and medial epicondylitis. /golf" elbow. I've tried literally every forearm strap on the market. All with negative results. Out of frustration, I ended up developing my own version (see next image). Then, 30 days ago, I noticed OTC Band-It Out Out of curiosity (and desperation) I bought an OTC band and here are my findings - Protects both the medial and lateral tendons…

I have an elbow injury on the medial (golfer) and lateral (tennis player) elbow, while the tennis elbow is much worse. This is the ONLY compression device I could find that solves both problems. Band-It compressors compress the tendons both inside and outside the arm (e.g. when you press a guitar string) which significantly reduces the stress on the injured tendon, allows it to heal and eliminates pain in most ranges of motion, reducing it , when the elbow is mostly straight. It has 2…

I've been fighting with tennis elbow for over 3 months on one arm and 3 weeks on the other or maybe golfer's elbow. I finally went to the doctor, because what do you do when your hands are no longer good? They hurt on their own, so I had to do something. During my visit, my doctor asked me if I had tried the braces. I explained that I had tried a compression sleeve, a neoprene sleeve with straps over/under the elbows, a stiffer padded bandage that fits over the tendon with an elastic strap, and
