A member asked:
Elbow support brace like bandit for the forearm to cure ulnar claw? more blood flow? when should it be used? what about hot/cold therapy sleeves?

Can't hurt to try: BandIt MAY help by taking some pressure off the ulnar nerve,and you can wear it as much as you want if it helps.It's not guaranteed to cure though.You're young, and research suggest surgery may be better for younger patients with moderate to severe symptoms if conservative measures like BandIt and avoiding certain positions don't work within 6 months, surgery may be best. You can try heat and ice
