Hey, Deena,

Welcome to TE. Glad to hear the suggestions helped. Another good use for the compression band is to put it over a flexible ice pack, to hold it in place.

I had a brainstorm the other day. I have a hot wax thing for my hands--the kind of thing they use at manicure places. Sometimes my hands get very sore from work, and it feels great to do a hot wax dip. So I turned it on the other day, and dipped my elbow a couple of times, wrapped it in Saran wrap, a towel, and put the compression band around the whole thing. It felt wonderful. Heat is so good sometimes.

Hope your arm stays better. Mine is generally better with the tri-design seat post instead of the road-design post. My elbows are less straight and stiff. Or could it be the 2 naprosyn I took 12 hr ago...?
