Willcom CMC Thumb Brace for Joint Pain and Instability, Thumb Splint for Stabilizes CMC joint and Osteoarthritis, CMC Support Brace for Men and Women, Waterproof, Lightweight(Right hand, M,7-8.5 Inch)

I have CMC joint arthritis and have tried various braces to support, hold correct positioning and reduce pain. There are a few that do this, but most mean you can barely use the hand - this one allows me to do most things i need to as i can still move all my fingers/thumb. The main difference between this and similar ones is the two textures of the plastics - there is a softer area between thumb and index finger which stops it digging in.Most comfortable, effective one i’ve found.

This does work for cmc joint in the thumb by reducing the movement of the joint which can get quite painful

I've been having some hand joint pain due to using a mouse for too many years. As a result I was told to use a vertical mouse which improved my finger pain but introduced pain into my thumb joint over a couple of weeks - much like when you put too much effort into opening a jar. So this splint was a perfect opportunity to provide a bit of relief and support. It took me a few moments to figure out the orientation from the instructions but they are pretty clear and multi-language with images too. However although the metal strip can be "moulded" to fit it still feels a little tight and can dig in - the velcro straps can be adjusted but I have found it to be a bit too restrictive, though it feels very odd after I take it off. It does however also come with a "free" elastic support which is more like a "tubi-grip" type support which I have found more comfortable and supportive. I found that using the main brace over the elastic support is more comfortable but can get a bit sweaty over time. There are some spare straps for the main brace too. I chose medium over large even though my finger length is in the "long" category - purely as my hands themselves aren't that big. At £20 it's quite a pricey item for what it is - it may be worth finding a cheaper elastic support to see if it helps before committing to a more expensive option like this.

I recently developed pain in my thumb where it joins my hand. some activities are painful and I can feel the joint "give" as I try to squeeze things. This thumb brace gives good support to the joint but lets my thumb move so I can still use it. If you have similar problems I'd thoroughly recommend this one.

Didn't work for me!I have arthritis in both thumbs, actually caused more pain.

THIS IS GREAT FOR BOTTOM PART OF THUMB NOT UPPER PART OF THUMB

I bought this to help with arthritis in my thumb. I measured across my palm as instructed and this showed that I was just inside the range of the "medium" splint. Unfortunately, the splint was very uncomfortable and I had to return it. I've now got a "large" size - this is much more comfortable and I'll see how it works out over time.If you have any doubt as to which size to get, I'd opt for the larger one. I don't have large hands, going by when I buy gloves, so it could be that if you do have large hands, then even the "large" size may not be big enough for you.
