Does it help with upper arm pain due to tennis?

My husband has golf elbow and has had pain for awhile. Tired of him complaining and bought him the sleeve! It really works! He wears almost every day!

My husband has tendonitis (tennis elbow). I decided to give Tommy Copper a try after the other braces and compression bands failed. It works for him. Hope this helps.

Depends on what you mean by, 'upper arm pain'. I got my elbow sleeve because I blew out my elbow lifting extra sized bales of hay. This was physical damage and the sleeve did not do much for that, but did offer some bracing and support. I believe it would be most helpful for someone who just has sore muscles from a hard workout.

If you mean Tennis elbow vs Golf elbow, it is just worn with pad on a different part of your arm.

It does help with tight muscles. After running, my hamstrings and calves are pretty tight but this definitely helps relieve the tension. As for upper back, I do feel some relief and less spasms. So I would say it does help with trigger points. Plus, you can always use a golf ball or tennis or lacrosse ball for a specific spot if you want to be cost efficient.

It may help. It's slight pressure, not firm, so you may find sleeves with more compression to be of greater help. I have a similar forearm issue and alternate between this sleeve to wear on "good" days and a thicker, tighter one when my arm is hurting.

I have used it on my hands - I have arthritis in my thumbs and it seems to help the aching.

I believe it would help either. I purchased it for a hamstring strain and it really seemed to help.

I use mine for racquetball after a torn rotator cuff. I like it. It seems to give the needed support.

It could since it places pressure on the area right in front of the elbow. If you're having combo pain, like elbow/ shoulder or elbow/ forearm/ wrist see a doctor. They can hook you up with the right wraps that will work together.Tennis elbow, the medical term is Lateral Epicondylitis occurs when inflammation of the tendons that join the forearm muscles on the outside of the elbow are overuse, or repeating the same motions again & again. It can also happen if the tendons are always locked in the same position for long periods of time. (This is all the info from my local pharmacist.) So if thats it, you got it and this may band help.

I love this mat as it does relieve pressure when I have a headache or my back hurts. Not knowing where the acupuncture needles are put for your tennis elbow it is hard to say of those spots will be hit but I would assume they would as you can move around to hit areas you want. Even if it doesn't help for tennis elbow you will love it for all other aches.

It reduced my shoulder pain. I have bursitis in my right side . An hour after I put it on it helped take off the pain from the burning throbbing pain in my right shoulder.

No it doesn't massage arms. Its massages from your feet all the way up to your neck though.

I honestly think it can because before I bought it I hesitated whether it is made of hard or soft material. When I got it I was really happy. It does the work effectively. If you do bicep curl, you should fasten it little up close to lower part of palm, that might solve your problem. However, I bought it for some bench and shoulder press

If by the top of the hand, you mean palm, then yes, it does cover that part. You can manipulate it a little big, too. Also, Jessica, if you purchase it and it doesn't work for you, amazon has a fantastic return policy. I know that's a pain, but if it's not what you need, then don't keep it. I hope you get relief soon. If there is any thing else I can help you with, let me know. Hand pain is just a pain, isn't it?

It won't help. It is an expensive placebo. The company has bought up a large number of fake web sites so that when you google "Penetrex scam" or "tennis elbow", "Hand pain" and a great deal of others, it links to purchasing the product. This highlights the need for fake websites. The product is a scam and has no analgesic effect other than massage, itself.

The answers about pressure on ligaments sounds right to me... from an anecdotal point of view, it makes my elbow pain go away... I bought a second one so I will have it available when I bowl or play badminton. I had a pain in my elbow above and below the elbow, not sure why but after using the bandit the pain is reduced and my elbow feels much better. I don't know if it's just a placebo effect but for the cost I'm good with it. I highly recommend it. It also doesn't make my elbow sweat like the compression bands and elbow sleeves do. It doesn't smell after use... a side benefit. Hope this helps you decide to get one... you can't go wrong for the price The answers about pressure on ligaments sounds right to me... from an anecdotal point of view, it makes my elbow pain go away...

Absolutely, that's what I used it for first. One pad sits right on the golfers elbow area the other on the tennis...
