Good protection for the elbow during normal activities that allows healing to occur at the elbow .
I accidentally banged my elbow against a hard floor and bruised the bone. It wouldn’t heal because I seemed to keep aggravating the injured area by accidentally continuing to bump the same elbow against hard surfaces time and time again.  I eventually developed bursitis in the elbow and so I looked for a elbow sleeve that was padded that could protect my elbow and found these.<br /><br />These really did the trick for me.  They were comfortable to wear around the house and also while sleeping. Within a couple weeks of wearing these, the bursitis went away and the bruised bone was in the final stages of healing and had stopped hurting.<br /><br />If the elastic band at each end of the sleeve were slightly stronger and more resilient, I would have given this product five stars.  After, a few weeks of use, the sleeve was still functional but had lost most of its elasticity .... much like a really old pair of socks.
Rating: 4 stars
