Review on Therapists Choice® Wrist Support Universal Sports & Fitness by Joey Gilbert

I do not recommend this orthosis because of possible nerve damage! This bandage has several strengths, but there are also clear disadvantages, one in particular. I bought this due to wrist and thumb pain caused by both arthritis and pressure leaning on the walker. The metal detail on the palm, combined with the velcro straps, fixes the wrist very well and gives it rest. However, the metal part next to the thumb is in the wrong place, at least for me. It puts pressure on the radial nerve at the base of the thumb, causing long-term numbness at the outer edge of the thumb. Just wearing it for 2 nights caused numbness that lasted 3 days! I've tried bending the detachable piece of metal again, but where it fits, it always presses against the base of the thumb and irritates the nerve. The hand near the knuckles is barely enough to catch. My hand isn't very large, but if it were even half an inch wider, this strap wouldn't work. These braces are potentially dangerous.
