Dr. Arthritis Doctor Developed Wrist & Hand Compression Sleeve/Support/Brace, Palm Protector with Gel Pad, Optimum comfort for Carpal Tunnel, RSI & More Black (S)

I have used Dr Arthritis products before but not this one. I have always bought black as the beige always seemed the wrong colour for me. This wrist compression sleeve is perfect for me. It fits like a dream (size M, 7”wrist) and the colours aren’t intrusive at all. My first wrist wrap was sent to me for review but I bought a second to make a matched pair. It helps with arthritic pain almost immediately. The internal gel areas where your wrist sits on a desk or wheelchair arm reduce pressure on the wrist and add comfort. The wrist sleeve has a well stitched hole for the thumb which is a good size and doesn’t restrict the thumb or fingers. I’ve been knitting with mine on. I recommend these products for ease of use, quality of product and comfort with strong support.

Bought for tendonitis, these have very good support and are comfortable if they fit...but they are much smaller than you would expect. I have small hands and the small are perfect but my son has medium hands and the medium were much too tight and hurt between thumb and first finger. We changed them for large which fit so these supports would not be suitable for a man with medium to large hands.

The reason behind my headline is because those were my exact thoughts when I put this wrist support on for the first time! As with most people my arthritis pain can change so quickly from excruciating to just niggling with no apparent reason so I will be using the Dr Arthritis wrist support and thumb splint when the pain is very bad and this one for 'in between' days. I particularly love the padding that goes down the outside of hand and wrist which is very relaxing when I feel I need to rest my arm down on my desk at work. I thoroughly recommend Dr Arthritis above all other makers of supports and what makes it extra special for me is the little book that comes with each order full of information, advice and excersizes which gives me the trust and confidence to purchase from this company each and every time.

As you can see by the picture, it is not the same as advertised, although it is very similar. Sizing is off, the length of the product is a lot shorter than advertised, the thumb hole is too tight and the band that sits on the arm is too tight, and the part that sits by the knuckles is loose and baggy. It does provide pain relief almost instantly. The padding to the side is too prominent also. I don't know whether this is a legitimate item or not but it is kind of doing the job, just need to see if i have band marks around arm and thumb after use, if it does, i will be returning as this means that it doesnt fit correctly.

I already use the Dr Arthritis wrist support brace, which has a splint in it, every night in bed and because that has made such a difference in reducing the pain in my wrist, enabling me to sleep better, I decided to buy this sleeve to support my wrist throughout the day too. I suffer from arthritis and RSI in my wrist and it is constantly painful but wearing the sleeve has reduced the pain a great deal and makes it much easier to carry out everyday tasks. It allows me full movement in my hand while at the same time supporting my wrist. The sleeve is comfortable to wear and it applies gentle compression to my wrist which reduces the swelling . The incorporated gel pad helps to ease the pressure on my wrist when my hand is on a flat surface. As soon as I take the sleeve off my wrist becomes so much more painful. I am very pleased with my purchase.

I have had a sore wrist for a number of weeks now and decided to give this product a try. It is a lovely design and isnt as clumsy as some of the others are quite big and bulky looking. Gives the right support in the area needed which is good and offers a degree a flexibility that the one with the metal inserts doesnt. Love that you get a leaflet with it that talks about all wrist conditions and that they show you how to do strengthening exercises, that's a nice touch as no other does that. Would definitely buy again as price point was pretty good, yes you can get cheaper but the design feature and colour helps with making this a better looking product.

I have purchased Dr Arthritis compression gloves for arthritis in the mast, selected Medium as I have fairly small fingers/hands/wrists, and the fit has been perfect, in fact they fit like a glove (excuse the pun), so I bought this compression sleeve/support to aid in the recovery of a fractured wrist to wear around my home but sadly, although I purchased a Medium (as with the gloves), this was like trying to squeeze into something I would have thought was for a young teen - it was way too small and within seconds of trying it on, I could feel my hand going numb and ice cold, so I have returned the item, very disappointed - I should have listened to the 2 and 1 star reviews - they were correct regarding the sizing of this item.

I did like the look of the item but it was so tight ,it made my pain worse so i cannot use it . my wrists are skinny so any one with a larger wrist would not be able to get it on as i struggled with my small wrist
