Alright, let’s talk about this here… thingy… this Cambivo 2 pack tennis elbow brace, yeah? My grandson, he got it for me, said it’ll help with my arm. You know, getting old ain’t easy, things start hurtin’ for no reason.
So, what is it? Well, it’s like a stretchy sleeve thing you put on your elbow. They say it’s for folks with tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, all sorts of fancy names. I don’t know nothin’ ’bout that, all I know is my elbow was achin’ like a bad tooth. This thing, it kinda squeezes your arm, makes it feel a bit better.
What’s it made of? Don’t ask me, some kinda fancy words on the package, like “SBR” and “spandex.” Sounds like somethin’ from outer space! But it feels soft, not scratchy, that’s good enough for me. My grandson says it’s got some kind of rubber in it, like what them divers wear. Keeps your arm warm, I guess.
- How do you use it? Easy peasy. Just slip it on, like a sock but for your arm. Make sure that padded part, the cushiony bit, is sittin’ right on your forearm, where it hurts. You can wear it all day, if you want. I wear it when I’m doin’ my chores, you know, gardening, washin’ dishes. Even when I’m just sittin’ and watchin’ TV. Keeps things from gettin’ too stiff.
- Does it work? Well, like I said, my elbow ain’t achin’ as much. It ain’t magic, mind you. It won’t make you young again. But it helps, it really does. My grandson says it’s because it’s squeezin’ the right spots, taking the pressure off my joints. Sounds like hogwash to me, but hey, if it works, it works.
They say you can use it for all sorts of things. Workin’, gardening, lifting heavy stuff. I even wear it when I’m knittin’. My hands get tired, you see. This thing, it helps keep my arm steady. I reckon it’d be good for them young folks too, liftin’ weights and whatnot. My grandson, he wears one when he’s workin’ out in that there garage of his. He says it helps him lift more. Kids these days, always gotta be showin’ off.
Now, this here package came with two of ‘em. That’s good, I guess. One for washin’, one for wearin’. Or maybe you got two bad elbows. Who knows? They’re black, so they don’t show the dirt too much, which is good ‘cause I ain’t got time for fancy washin’ routines. I just throw ‘em in the wash with everything else.
It says on the box it helps with swelling too. I ain’t had much swellin’, thank the Lord. But my neighbor, she’s got that…arthur… arthur-itis, yeah, that’s it. Her hands are all swollen and crooked. I told her about this thing, maybe it’ll help her too. Worth a try, right?
So, would I recommend it? Yeah, I guess so. It ain’t gonna cure nothin’, but it helps with the achin’. And it’s comfortable enough, not like some of them other contraptions they try to sell you. If your elbow’s botherin’ you, give it a shot. It ain’t gonna break the bank, and it might just make you feel a little bit better. And that’s all a body can ask for, ain’t it?
At the end of the day, it’s a simple thing. It ain’t rocket science. It just helps hold things together, keeps your elbow from bendin’ the wrong way. And sometimes, that’s all you need. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some supper. My elbow’s feelin’ alright today, thanks to this here thingamajig.
