This is helping me, I think!
This is helping me, I think
Date: April 17, 2002
My right arm and elbow have been giving me fits ever since I reached and tried to move a piece of furniture 1 inch! Now I have had this pain for a long time anyway-usually from over use on the computer or peeling potatoes, apples, writing, etc. I found this Ace Bandage "thingy" that somebody told me to try ages ago for Tennis Elbow. I wore it for a short time way back when and it didn't seem to help. Well, I have had it on for about an hour this morning and the pain is considerable less! I had been just wearing the wrist support.
This thing is about 2 inches wide and is adjustable with a velcro closure. You put it snug, but not so tight that it causes discomfort, about 1 to 1 and a half inches below your elbow/inside crook of your arm. You can buy this anywhere Ace Bandages are sold.
In the past my arm has become so bad that I had to use only my left hand and arm to do everything for up to a week. I had been considering going for a shot in that elbow-but now, maybe I won't need it. Anybody else tried one of these things?
Hugs,
Linda
