I went to order new bandage because So I saw these (see links) and was wondering if any one had any lunch with them. I need the extra padding on the underside of my arm between wrist and elbow.

    I use Swell Spots, but I've never seen these before.

    The Jovi pit packs are different than the swell spots in that the swell spots are filled with shredded foam and the pit packs are actually filled with dried cherry pits.

    The pit packs are considered very aggressive therapy for woody fibrosis caused by lymphedema.  I would check with your therapist before using them.
