Compression Sleeve After Injury and Rehab

[Elmer]

I documented and discussed my torn bicep ( see below). The recover has been slow, but good. However in the process I have acquired a nasty case of tennis elbow in the opposite arm.

After 5 months of rehab, I have begun swinging, slowly and lightly. Luckily when my league starts I only have to play 9 holes. Anything more and my Dr has told me my arm will be tired and show weakness, from what it used to be.
One of my greatest fears moving forward is re-injuring the arm. This fear is based on a few factors.
it is cold when I first start playing (usually 40s-50s), therefore I will be tight
My home course does not have a range, so any loosening is done just swinging clubs.
Because of work, I am not always able to get to the course with ample time to stretch and warm up.
I notoriously over swing, with all the brute strength I can muster. 

So I was wondering if anyone has used compression sleeve to hold their bicep and forearm?
I have used them when I tweaked my thigh and it seemed to work.. However the thigh does not need to be as flexible in the golf shot as my left arm.
Does anyone wear a full or partial compression sleeve? if so any recommendation on a brand and was it difficult to adapt?
Did you find it beneficial?

Any thoughts or advice are appreciated.

I had bicep tendonitis last year. I wore a compression sleeve when I practiced and warming up. The first few rounds I kept it on, but eventually I didn’t need it. I still use it for practice now and again.

I wear one occasionally and I find it helps. Copper Fit makes a good one.
