Wrist Stabilizer Helped Me Out July 27, 2007 This worked great for me. I strained my wrist doing gardening, picking up the dog, etc. and it was really quite sore. It is feeling much better and when I start to feel it hurt again I bring out the brace and wear it for a day or so until my wrist doesn't hurt again. I love it. It isn't pretty, but it works great!
Wrist Guard July 24, 2007 I gave this item to a friend, who was looking for a new one.,..it was too tight for me. She says it's helping a lot and feels great.
Works quite well March 23, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased this wrist stabilizer because of pain in my wrist and arm due to typing. Although it is not the most attractive garment, it works quite well and has greatly reduced the discomfort I feel. At first I wore it all day at work, plus at night. Now I just wear it whenever I am typing. I have very little discomfort, and none of the terrible burning sensation that had been running from my wrist to my elbow. The only thing I don't like is the fit of the piece of material running between the thumb and first finger -- after wearing it for a while it starts to chafe.
Excellent wrist brace February 12, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I am a software developer and so is my wife. She uses a laptop at work, which has a tiny uncomfortable keyboard that she uses the entire day. Naturally, she started having pain in her wrist from the awkward position her wrist had to stay in the entire day. So, we decided to try out some wrist braces at our local walgreens store. We tried a bunch of them, and finally decided on buying this one.
As the other reviewers say, this IS a little pricey compared to the other wrist braces, but, according to me, it is definitely worth the money. Initially, my wife found it to be a little uncomfortable, but eventually she got used to it and would wear it for the entire day without feeling any discomfort. Her pain went away within a week. Now she has a desktop at work, but she still uses this daily and is happy with the results. Whenever I need to work from home and start feeling a pain in my wrists, I use her wrist brace and within hours I feel relief from my pain.
I give the product a 5-star rating. If you suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome or are beginning to feel the symptoms, definitely give this product a try.
These have mostly CURED my Carpal Tunnel Syndrome! October 2, 2006 5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I'm a computer programmer, and so spend long hours working with keyboard and mouse. When I developed carpal tunnel syndrome several years ago, it started in my right, or "mouse" hand. I never had any pain, but did have quite a bit of tingling and numbness in my all my fingers but the pinkie.
I figured I just needed to switch from a mouse to a trackball. That did help quite a bit, but it wasn't enough, and eventually I had symptoms in both hands. (But I would still recommend trackballs to anybody with mouse-hand CTS!) When things started slipping out of my hands and crashing to the floor, I decided I needed to get serious about this thing and buy some wrist braces to wear at night when I slept. (We CTS people often do most of the damage to our wrists when we SLEEP! Ever wake up with your hand completely numb, like a piece of meat that isn't connected to you?)
I tried several brands, and for several years used ones made by B&B (beige-colored lace-up foam jobs). I don't know how many pairs of those foam braces I wore out, before I finally tried a pair of these Futuro braces.
And that made all the difference: Since I've been wearing these braces when I sleep, my carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms are all but gone!
Now, of course, "your mileage may vary", and so these Futuro wrist braces might not work for you as well as they did for me. So you might want to try, as I did, several brands and models, until you find ones that work best for you. Come to think of it, if your health insurance covers it, you should first try the ones you doctor prescribes for you: That might save you some expensive trial-and-error.
Speaking of "expensive", that's the one negative of these braces: They are on the pricey side, and they don't last as long as I'd like. I seem to get about a 6-10 months or so of wear out of them before I have to buy new ones. In fact, that's why I came here tonight: I was shopping for new Futuro wrist stabilizers to replace my tattered worn out pair. I ended up writing this review instead! BTW: The best price I've found for these is on (shhh ... don't tell Amazon) EBay, but EBay sellers seem to get you shipping charges. So shop around! :-)
