Why you need a different brace, and how to heal faster & prevent re-injury
The BandIt (or one like the BandIt) is a better brace for me and will be for most who need one.  Here is a link to it on Amazon:  [[ASIN:B000FML7SW BandIT Therapeutic Forearm Band]]  It actually compresses the tendon, where the<br />Bracoo brace provides uniform pressure around the arm.  That is better than nothing & does offer a little support to help in healing.  But it doesn't support the tendon nearly as well.  And to work effectively the Bracoo brace needs to be tight enough to restrict circulation, which obviously won't help it heal.<br /><br />And for those who prefer to heal faster and solve the problem on a more permanent basis buy a brace & also buy a Thera-Band FlexBar.  Here is the Amazon link:  [[ASIN:B000KGOMBC Thera-Band Flexbar, Green, Medium]]  Depending on how bad your injury is start slow with your hands on the outside of the green (medium) FlexBar (like five reps a day) and work up to ten or fifteen reps with your hands on the inside (where it is harder to use so the muscles get a harder workout).  It will take a week to a month (depending on the severity of the damage to the tendon) to see results but it works for almost everyone.<br /><br />The reason is simple:  The tendon is damaged because the muscles on the &#34;other side&#34; of the arm are weak.  I'm talking about the small muscles that get big stress only when we do things like play golf/tennis/etc.  Using the FlexBar every day will target and slowly but surely strengthen these small weak muscles.  This will keep the tendon from continually being stressed too far, allow it to heal much quicker, and in almost all cases prevent re-injury (if the FlexBar is used a couple of times a week to maintain muscle strength).
