Elbow splints

Where's the best place to buy elbow splints?

I'm looking specifically for child-sized splints or very small adult size.

Thanks

These splints should be prescribed/made specially for the patient, especially for children.

They're not for a child, they're for me - I just have very thin arms and adult-sized medical stuff is usually too big.

- get them properly made~to~measure by NHS Orthotic Services
- most hospitals, but not all will accept referrals from GP's
- a much safer & better option, depending on the time frame available

Best of luck.

I have a more realistic chance of winning the lottery than getting anything from my PCT.

Still, I'll have another try when I go to the surgery next week ...
