In some cases, your doctor will recommend a brace for your elbow. It is extremely important that you understand how to wear this brace. Your doctor will walk you through how to put it on, and when it needs to be worn. First, find the painful area. Then, slide the brace up to one thumbs’ width below the painful area. Next, wear the brace snugly, as it serves to apply pressure to the affected area. If you experienced numbness or tingling in your hands, loosen the brace a bit. Wear the brace throughout the day as you perform your regular activities. Be mindful of any improvements in your pain.
