This works pretty well. I LIVE in this brace
I have never tried any other brace. But I am a new mom and have De Quervains Tenosynovitis from and needed to demobilize my tendon on my thumb. This works pretty well. I LIVE in this brace. I only take it off to shower.
It works pretty well for my condition, however it does not completely stop my tendon from moving. Since I can not completely give my hands rest (i have a baby.. there is no getting around using my hands) So sometimes when using my hand, it gets tweaked and OMG, the pain is horrible.
I showed my doctor this brace and she said it should be stiffer and recommended a medical grade one.
I am still going to use this one for now as it is a lot softer then the medical ones and I dont want to hurt the baby and its easier to sleep in it.
I probably would recommend this brace if you could actually give your injury true rest. But so far, ive been wearing it for 5 weeks and my injury has not healed at all.
