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

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.

What this IS: a graduated compression stocking for your wrist only.What this is NOT: not a brace, not immobilizing, not for your thumb, and not something that will work if it’s the wrong size.These are supposed to be tight. If it’s loose, it’s not working. Measuring and getting it right is really important, or else it’s just a sock. Please learn about graduated compression and how to use it before trying something like this.I broke my wrist about 5 years ago, and recently strained it again and the old injury is hurting again. I’m in constant pain for about 3 weeks now. I’ve been wrapping it with a sport wrap to get enough compression to stop the pain without making it worse, which is hard. I’ve used graduated compression stockings for years to control leg pain since my car accident, so I hoped this would help my wrist as well.After wearing this glove overnight, I woke up not in pain this morning for the first time in weeks. The graduated compression for my wrist was EXACTLY what I needed. It provides just enough pressure to stop the pain and remind me not to turn my wrist in a way that will make it worse. I also have been wearing it underneath the immobilizing brace during the day, as it makes the brace about 10 times more comfortable.As someone who has used a lot of compression stockings for my legs for years and know the ups and downs, I’m impressed with the quality, comfort, and effectiveness of this compression product for the wrist.This NOT an immobilizing brace. It’s a graduated compression glove. If you need a graduated compression glove for your wrist, this is wonderful.If you have a new injury or fracture, you might need an immobilizing brace, and this is not that. This is something to wear under one of those braces if compression is also needed.I just see all these reviews where people were choosing the wrong tool for their needs and getting mad and leaving 1-star reviews because of their own ignorance and error. It’s not the hammer’s fault if what you really needed was a screwdriver! Would you leave 1-star reviews for a hammer because it couldn’t turn a screw? No, because that’s not what a hammer is for. Choose the right tool, you’ll be much happier with the result.If you need a brace, get a brace. If you need graduated compression for your wrist that won’t hurt your fingers, get THIS. It’s perfect, it really is, and I’m ordering several more.

Great wrist support. I injured my hand and this does a great job supporting it. I can sleep with no problem. It’s very durable. Not bulky. Will buy again if needed.

I bought this mainly to support a thumb with a torn tendon, but i also have carpal tunnel, ganglion cyst and severe arthritis in my hands. i figured even it it didnt cover my thumb like the product picture shows it would still be helpful. It actually does come far up enough to cover the joint under my thumbnail where i needed it to cover but it also is extremely helpful for all the other problems also. It is made well and of very firm expandable fabric not some thin stretchy jersey like some are made. it also does not limit finger movement either. only one thing i found that i didnt like. i ordered a medium even tho i have small hands...either i need to go to a large or i just am not used to how firm it holds. I am ordering a 2nd one but i think i will stick to the medium as the firmness does seem to help. well made product worth the money..PS- i cant imagine even a size 'large' fitting a man's hand unless they are extremely small...be forewarned.

Update: I went on vacation and thought I lost my compression glove so I reordered it here on Amazon so I would have it when I got home. I ended up finding mine and was able to compare it to the newest one I ordered. I ordered the same size small from the same company, but they are totally different. The new one is tiny and the black fabric is thin and has little to no stretch. The thumb area is much longer and so tight that it cuts off my circulation. The quality is not the same so I’m guessing they are being made by whoever will make them the cheapest. I will not order from this company again because I have now ordered 3 of these and only 1 works for me. I’m not trying to collect these to decorate my house with so I’ve now lost over $30 on the two that are midsized or made like crap.update: I ended up ordering another one in small and the fit and compression is perfect. It really helps the pain I have from trigger thumb. I wish the sizing chart was updated so people wouldn’t have to order the wrong size based on the seller’s provided measuring chart that is incorrect.Original review: Sizing is way off. I measured my wrist 3 times and ordered a medium. It is huge so it doesn’t offer any support or compression. Since this is a medical item it is not returnable and I’m out $. Not happy at all.

While I wanted to love this product, and loved the way most of the brace fit, especially the ability to form the metal around the lower thumb/hand to create stabilization for the entire thumb, having a nice form fit, it did not work out for as I had hoped. The brace caused the area between my thumb and forefinger, the soft tissue, to be gouged. I have small hands, and a small, thinner thumb, so when I strapped the thumb part around my thumb, it could not hold tight enough to stop the plastic piece from sliding down below the knuckle, causing it to dig into the skin. And I am not sure what that extra piece of strap is supposed to do. Am I supposed to wrap that around, into the soft skinned area, to prevent the hard plastic from digging into my skin? If so, it is almost as irritating and painful. If I could find another brace with the form-fitting metal, with a a thumb piece that does not go down and dig into the soft skin, it would be the perfect brace.For some reason, about 8 months ago, I woke up to my right thumb not being able to bend with a hard pop. No trauma to it, just happened. Went to the doctor, who said it was "Trigger finger, and told me to exercise it more, so I would try to use a squeeze ball, but that would inflame it. Had x-rays taken, no signs of any breaks or cartilage issues. He did not seem to concerned about my problem, or no clue maybe on how to treat it, so I switched doctors. Once again, x-rays with no apparent signs of trauma or cartilage issues, but another doctor who didn't seem to know how to treat it. By this time, my thumb doesn't bend/pop at all. It is straight all the time, but will occasionally bend on it's own, and I have to take a deep breath, and pop it hard back into place. Then I tried a holistic/herbal doctor who tells me it is inflammation, and that I need to reduce the inflammation in my body. I can accept that to a point, as many of my other fingers have a feeling of being swollen and some sore joints, but tests show I do not have arthritis or anything that can be pin-pointed, so of course they diagnose me with Fibromyalgia...... I take medication to help with the "swelling" and pain for the Fibro, and it helps the other fingers, but not the thumb. Due to my right thumb wanting to bend on occasion on it's own, and becoming truly sore when I use it too much as I am right-handed, I must wear a brace on most days, and always when I am sleeping - that is not a good way to be awoken in the night - OUCH.... So, my quest for the perfect thumb brace continues.... any advice from your own experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Been searching for something to help with my pain in my wrists and would be easy to put on and be effective at not restricting my hand movements while I work. Takes away most of the pain consistently while being used. I have tried dozens of other kinds and this one by far is the best and actually works. As of the moment of writing this review, the compression level has not changed. Material is still all together. It is very comfortable.

Nice weight, good support. I use it to play pickleball and protect and remind me to be gentle on my thumb.

These are the best for after Carpal Tunnel release surgery in my opinion.Quality and affordable.

Schnelle Lieferung und die Manschette passt für mich sehr gut. Ich benötige sie zur Unterstützung des rechten Daumens. Meine Fahrradschaltung macht sie erforderlich. Das Tragen der Manschette empfinde ich als sehr angenehm, da sie leicht, stabil und dennoch nicht hinderlich ist. Ich würde das Produkt wieder kaufen.

Excelente producto, lo he comprado 2 veces!
