Q: Has anyone with carpal tunnel used this? I've been getting thumb pain from typing/carpal tunnel and I'm wondering if it would help.
A: I have not been diagnosed with carpal tunnel, but I do suffer from repetitive motion syndrome. This product has given me a lot of relief. It doesn’t work miracles, but I’m sure glad I have it.
submitted bySugarSkull4ever - 7 years agoA: I used the thumb splint to immobilize my thumb until i had surgery on the 1st carpometacarpal joint for severe arthritis. I'm not sure this splint would help w/carpal tunnel but it was a life saver keeping me pain-free the time i wore it before my surgery.
submitted byWhoDatNurse - 7 years agoA: If I can bring some relief depending on how severe your carpal tunnel is. It is particularly good for some pain but if your pain radiates into the forearm it probably won’t do you much good.
