Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm a new mom with De Quervain's tenosynovitis - I wanted a brace I could sleep in and also wear for part of the day. My first brace looked similar to this, but extended halfway up the forearm. At first I thought it'd be a good fit, but after wearing for a short while my thumb would get numb. (Say it fast: numb thumb, numb thumb, numb thumb!) It also was so big, it was hard to sleep comfortably or go about my day. It felt like I had a cast on my arm. Then I went the opposite direction and tried a soft neoprene glove-like brace. It didn't restrict my movements so much (or at all, for that matter), but it didn't breathe, and after 10 mins my hand was sweaty and I was dying to rip it off. Now, this brace is perfect. I can wear it for hours with no numb thumb and no sweaty hands, and it allows me to work on the computer, drive, do anything I need to, and at the end of the day my pain is gone. Despite not being so long, it still limits wrist flexion (up and down) and completely prevents sideways movement in the wrist. The thumb strap can be very snug or very loose. I only got one because thought I would use my old brace on the other hand, but this is so much better, I'll get a second one.
