Neo-G Wrist and Thumb Support for Arthritis, Joint Pain, Tendonitis, Sprain - Wrist Brace Wrist Compression Hand Support - S - Black

The Hely&Weber Carpal Tunnel Titan Wrist Lacing Orthosis brace my ortho dr gave me for my carpal tunnel works great but itches a lot. I got this glove on its own for compression and pain relief, but it works really well with the brace. It adds compression and gets rid of the itchiness of the brace. I have very small hands and wrists and the small size glove fits comfortably while also providing good compression. I'll probably get another to wear for when I have to wash it.

Best flexible wrist and hand support available. Being a 67 year old female classical guitarist that still performs publicly 2 - 3 times weekly, I needed something to "hold together" my hand and thumb. A hand injury many years ago left my right-hand connective tissue weak, very painful and less than desirable. Every doctor I saw told me to "forget ever playing guitar any more", "you are done - face up to it", "time to hang it up, guitar playing isn't that important", "there is no known form of treatment to cure what you have", "maybe we could try surgery......". Thank goodness, doctors have no idea what they are talking about.Solution: I first apply hydrocortisone 1% Crm, (available OTC) followed by a coat of zinc oxide powder (available on amazon) to my affected area then slip on this support. The support fits fairly tight but not too tight to inhibit circulation or coordination. The combination of the firm support from the device with the medicinal effect of the hydrocortisone and zinc oxide have kept me about 80% symptom free for the 2++ years since I have been using it. I am currently on my "3rd NeoG" (shouldn't they give me the next one free?). Prior to starting with the NeoG and HC/ZO, I unsuccessfully tried to find a support that would first of all STOP THE PAIN and work without getting in the way of fingering a classical guitar. With the NeoG and the HC/ZO, there are very few difficult fingering positions that I cannot achieve. If I did not have the NeoG, my guitar would be sitting in its case or up for sale on the internet and I would be hanging out at some day care center for the elderly doing arts and crafts with my left hand (OMG no). Many people who play musical instruments have taken my recommendations on this device. Even some persons who do not play an instrument.Besides all this hype, this product will not put you in the poor house like many other supports price tags that take you to the cleaners. I still live in the poor-house, but at least I am in a house, the poor house is better than no house.

Just to be clear, The product is the least tightest at the wrist and more tight near the space where the thumb and hand meet and the area above the wrist. Not sure if its just with the one I received but I thought someone should know before reading the rest of my review. Its just as a precaution. This may explain the reason behind my type of review. This is not a biased review. Its just my experience with the product. You may want more support. This does not "squeeze" the wrist in comparison to the tightness of other regions on this product.Very useful. I bought this and when It arrived, It looked too small like "I can't fit this!" small, but when I put this on, it fit just right! Its a stretch-fit. Just measure your wrist, pick what corresponds with your measurements and you should be fine. You can alternate hands and you will not feel the difference! It has versatility. Gives you a great amount of support. I cut my thumb on the side of it by accident. The bone stopped the blade from cutting it off. It healed but the nerves will never be the same. Clearly an accident! It slipped! The main reason I wear this is to help with the pens and needles I feel when I press too hard with it or hit the tip of the thumb. I sprain my wrist sometimes and its excellent for that too! Didn't think it would help for these issues I have but it did just that. Its a great product in my opinion.As for usage, your can wear a glove over top of this. If you have work gloves or its wintertime and you need to use this- No problem! This thing is like a second skin. Its so close to your hand and wrist that it will be contour enough to fit most if not all the gloves you wear. Its not bulky or uncomfortable.Pros: Gives support where you need it, Allows free range of movement for fingers. Allows your wrist to breath.Cons: In the dead-of-heat, you will still sweat with this on. Tight, snug fit may get uncomfortable after a while. Even though its in your size, may still be a tight fit and may become an annoyance rather than a relief.This isn't a bad product, its great! It all boils down to personal preference and whether or not you want something like this.
