Buying an elbow support from the USA to be sent to the UK - blocked medical category for UK import!

Question

Hi,

I'm after getting a neoprene elbow support for my tennis elbow. The one I wan't isn't available in my size in the UK. So I want to buy it from the US. The company that sells them doesn't ship them outside of the US. So I've turned to ebay. I could have it shipped to mainland Europe but not the UK. I don't fully understand why. And is there any way around this? Also, is there anyway ebay can unblock this item? It's not like its tablets or anything.

@nase563 What is the item number? It depends on how the seller is shipping and the exact item. The UK has MANY import restrictions.
