BraceAbility Wrist and Thumb Spica Splint - De Quervain's Tenosynovitis Long Forearm Cast Stabilizer for Tendonitis, Sprains, Thumb Brace for Arthritis Pain and Support - (L Right Hand)

I've had a wrist injury- issues, surgery, etc., for years, and have used several different braces. I ordered this one recently because I had some sort of tendonitis going on and needed the thumb splint. I wore it round the clock for about a month. It does the job; it immobilizes well. it's also the most comfortable brace I've ever owned, and is very soft on the inside. I would say it runs big. Based on their suggestion, the correct size for me was a large, so that's what I ordered, but I was just barely able to close the velcro straps because the brace was much too big. That being said, even though it was way too big, it still didn't shift much. With other braces I've used, I've had to readjust frequently throughout the day as it's shifted and the frame become uncomfortable. With this one, it didn't require any adjusting at all, even after waking in the morning. Definitely recommend.

It really serves it's purpose.

Works great. No complaints. Comfortable. Keeps my wrist AND thumb immobile. Love it. *UPDATE* After wearing it for a few days, my thumb joint hurt, a LOT. Tried loosening, adjusting, and shortening the amount of time worn. Nothing helps. The thumb adjustment is very uncomfortable, no matter how you wear it. I had my husband wear it to see if I was doing something wrong, and it hurt him too. Lol Oh well. Maybe we're shaped funny. Hehe. Gonna keep it for emergencies only. :)

I had a wrist and forearm brace which was helpful but it ended up in transferring the problem to my thumb. My purchase of the BraceAbility is recent so my opinion is limited. I noticed immediate pain relief from the BraceAbility brace. A plus is that the Velcro fasteners are well made(almost too well It seems when trying to undue them). The others I have tried tend to stretch and lose grip function. How well only time will tell. I have two concerns. The first is that the thumb portion is clumsy but it works. The second concern is the straps to tighten the wrist and forearm. They are what I consider too long. This adds to the sense that the brace, overall, is clumsy because it leaves long tails. Again this not take away from the function but it does take away from the overall satisfaction with the brace. However, all that is minor compared to the pain relief it provides. My pain levels were crippling and with the brace the level is greatly reduced. My problem will resolve within a matter of weeks so that the concerns I have are short lived.

I tried this and the Comfort Brace. This one is better because it has velcro to latch onto. The other one would velcro onto the fabric and eventually the fabric wore out. The BraceAbility brace is pretty sturdy though a little bulk. I use for sleep it doesn't affect my sleep though it may take some getting used to initially. But the straps stay in place and has helped by carpal tunnel/ulnar entrapment issues to the point I have minimal to no symptoms when paring with stretching exercises, ergonomic office equipment, and stretch breaks during work.
