Dr Hive...tennis elbow

[ProudGrandma]

I have a self diagnosed tennis/golf elbow.  I want to buy a brace or a elbow wrap...but I am not sure which one would be better....and which brand is better.  If you have any experience with these, can you please tell me.  Thanks.

Since noone else has answered, I'm going to bump and add:

 

I have never bought a brace or elbow wrap. But I bought the flexbar mentioned in this article on amazon.com for $10 -- http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/08/25/phys-ed-an-easy-fix-for-tennis-elbow/?_r=0

 

It was simply amazing. By the time I got 10 into my first set the pain (which was constant and ongoing at that point) had already dulled. I do 50 every morning and have had no further problems. It takes me <5 minutes. It's currently <$15 on amazon -- I would give it a shot.

That's interesting! I may try that.

OP, I have tennis elbow. I didn't find bracing helpful, but it's been a while since I tried anything and your issue/cause might be different than mine.

I've had this as well for going on 4 months now and was also considering a brace. For those of you who have experienced tennis/golf elbow, how long was your recovery? Thank you Kiana for mentioning the flexbar-
