ThickAsThieves: If braces are worn during off time and at night, there usually is no need to wear them during the day. It may take
a month or so for it to subside. Heat is NOT good. Hope this helps. Also...avoid repetetive hand movements and relax hands every 15 minutes, easy to say...
ThickAsThieves: Custom ones are the most comfortable. An orthopedic has to prescribe it. They wet
a sheet of thick plastic, mold it to your hands and let it dry. There are no seams, have Velcro closures, and your wrists are positioned at exactly the right angle for relief. Also, try sleeping with your hands resting on pillows, without braces, hard to maintain through the night though.
ThickAsThieves: Mats_cd03, mom says: Surgery may be better now than in 1999. If you wait too many years, the nerve becomes permanently damaged and surgery won't help. No way to know in advance though. For immediate relief, cold compress works best or cool hand soaks. Store bought braces may work. The stiffest braces are best and sleeping with them gives the nerves
a rest and that may be enough. Go to
