A member asked:
Dr gave me sling for a strained triceps tendon. its helping to immobilize but so uncomfortable. is there a brace available to do the same thing?

At your age: muscle strains heal better without immobilization. Immobilizing your shoulder, elbow and wrist can cause worsening symptoms in areas that were uninjured initially. Immobilization is typically utilized only for unstable joints or other special circumstances.
