Hiball Lymphedema Medical Compression Arm Sleeve for Men Women, 20-30 mmHg Graduated Compression Full Arm Support

It felt comfortable and the right compression. It helps eleviate the pain in my arm

Update one day later: three stars. The fabric "cuff" at the top of the sleeve is less elastic than the rest of the sleeve. After wearing a few minutes, it stretched out enough to cause it to slip down my arm. Constantly pulling it back up, only to feel it slip down soon afterwards. I think the claims about the graduated compression are simply wrong. The compression felt strongest at the narrow end. Size large (I'm 5-9, 140 lbs, so curious to see who can wear small. Maybe a young thin child) was about 6 inches circumference at the wrist, and it felt like a tourniquet after a few minutes. Not a functional item for me. The search goes on. I'm an edge case, I suppose. I ruptured a biceps tendon, leading to the "Popeye" effect that occurs when the long head of the bicep is no longer anchored at the shoulder. After the initial pain subsides, you can use the arm normally because the other bicep head is still attached at the shoulder. Some loss of strength, but not too much. Since I've been a bit obsessive about bodybuilding, however, I was much more unhappy with the change in the appearance of the arm. It just looks pretty awful. Because of my apparently incurable vanity, I feel really self-conscious about wearing shirts that show the part of the upper arm affected by the injury. This sleeve is mostly a cosmetic cover-up, compressing the bicep enough to minimize the appearance of the injury, while maybe fooling some people into thinking it's a temporary attempt to treat or prevent an injury. So far, it seems to be a reasonable compromise; it's pretty tight but I don't think it's cutting off circulation too much. I followed the size chart, and it seemed to be accurate enough. Relaxed bicep around 11 inches, size L. Will wear to the gym today, and update the review if it seems useful to do so.

It was perfect for my arm randomly going numb. The fit was perfect. I didn’t want to get anything to cheap or crazy expensive just not knowing if it would work or not.

great quality, fits great

The four-stars displayed is not meant to be a criticism, but only based on my uncertainty about the product's long-term benefit. So far, on my first day using it for several hours at a stretch (no pun intended), it was comfortable and let me forget I even had it on! I have moderate lymphedema in the lower part of my arm, no pain in it, except for a little itching from time to time (before using the compression sleeve). The swelling was caused by injury to my forearm's lymphatics caused by a bacterial infection called cellulitis. Putting it on my arm was not too difficult, since I used a special glove (Hardy brand) that has a rubberized area in its palm. Just brushing the sleeve upwards in short strong strokes pulled all the way up over about 2 or 3 minutes put it into place all the way up my arm. The top part of it, even though it supposedly has the strongest compression, tends to slip down a bit. But grabbing and pulling it up with my other hand works fine, no problem.
