A member asked:
I have medial epicondylitis in my arm, work in nursery so walking round trying to protect my arm so have sore neck. has a strap on, would a sling help?

Short term use: A sling may help in the short term but I would avoid prolonged use, which could eventually lead to weakness. Try NSAIDs (i.e. ibuprofen, Aleve) and topical treatments such as aspercreme, capsaicin cream. Work on stretches as well: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/398639004490224734/
