Thumb Brace - Carpal Tunnel Wrist Brace Relief and Tendinitis Arthritis Sprained, Thumb Spica Splint Wrist Support to Night Sleep, Treat Trigger Splint Sprain Relieve Pain - Stabilizer Fit Left and Right Hands

I started having pain and cramps in my hand when I tried to fold towels, pick up things like my water tumbler, anything that required a pinching motion with my thumb. I am a retired nurse and had carpal tunnel surgery a number of years ago and trigger finger release in my other hand a few years ago. I really didn't want hand surgery again and it might be just tendonitis, so I decided to try a hand brace and ice first. I used the ice regularly for a few weeks and it got better, but I got some cast iron pots and pans and lifting them made the pain worsen again. This wrist brace was showing the dirt from usage and hand lotion quite a bit by then so I decided to try putting it in the washer because hand washing wasn't getting the job done. I put it in a zippered bag meant for delicates so the velcro wouldn't get caught on anything. It came out looking brand new. Whenever my hand is giving me problems I wear the brace, even at night. I have to take it off to cook and wash dishes but it goes back on afterwards. It really helps. The edge of the brace rests right on the edge of the cuticle at the base of my thumb nail and irritates it but wearing a band aid over my thumb nail takes care of that. The hook and loop closure probably isn't Velcro but another brand. It sticks too strongly to the elastic. It stays in place but is really hard to undo on the wrist strap. I have to undo the thumb and hand straps then slide the brace over my hand because it takes two hands to pull the hook section off the elastic strap around the wrist. I like that it can be used on either the right or left hand, one size fits all (I have large hands for a woman), and the level of support it gives. For awhile any flexing of my thumb hurt so I cut a foam based emory board short enough to cover my thumb and padded it with some gauze. I slid it down my thumb inside the strap and fastened the strap tight enough so my thumb didn't flex without making it so tight my thumb turned purple. I released the strap periodically just to make sure the circulation was still ok. After a few weeks of that that joint stopped hurting. Today it is my wrist that hurts more and I'm pretty sure it is from lifting the heavy pots and holding my tablet to read books for long intervals. I might have to break out the ice packs again but wearing the brace really helps.

I love the color of this brace, and the ability to support my thumb as well as my wrists. Unfortunately, the velcro wears out pretty quickly. But I have had it for a few months. So I got one for bedtime, and one I keep in my purse just for when I go out. The one I use when I'm out hasn't really pulled at the velcro too much, since I'm not taking it on and off as often as I do with the one I use at home.

My only regret is not buying it sooner. Absolutely instant pain relief when I put this on. It has 2 splints that run from the top of the thumb down to the wrist, so both are secured. Very comfortable and adjustable. 2 larger straps give me compression on the wrist and the hand. Thinking about buying another one as a backup. Highly recommend!

The product is of good quality and delivers on its promise: it provides excellent support and really helps relieve pain. The only thing is that it immobilizes the hand quite a bit, making it difficult to work with it on. It also ran a bit too large for me, so I have to adjust the strap as much as possible to get a proper fit. Other than that, it's a good product and I recommend it if you're looking for rest and relief for your wrist.

I love this brace. It’s washable and great quality. I don’t know what I’d have done at work for months without this.

This is very comfortable, it is supportive on my wrist and supports and holds my thumb; however it’s not too so much that I can’t move it at all. It feels very effective and I feel like I will be able to sleep with this at night. The size is great, it’s smaller and not too bulky. Very stable and lots of adjustments on the wrist and thumb. For the price I would recommend this!

It fits well

Have carpal tunnel and had some serious nerve burning and sensitivity from any pinching type movement. This really helped me keep everything in place but I was still able to type. Comfortable to sleep in. Like that I can use on either hand and adjust the tightness.
