Reddit reviews FUTURO Night Wrist Support SIOC, Helps Provide Nighttime Relief of Carpel Tunnel Symptoms, Breathable, One Size

I've had both carpal tunnel syndrome and tendinitis over the past year, and I highly recommend seeing your primary doctor or a hand specialist sooner rather than later. In both cases, I was able to get injections which relieved the pain and numbness within a few days. Wearing a brace at night will also help with carpal tunnel; my doctor recommended this brace which is available from Amazon for about $20, and I wear them on both wrists every night. Good luck!

It started a month ago. I don't have any major pain. Maybe a burning sensation, but mainly just tingling on my thumb, index, middle finger, and part of the palm. The doctor told me it was overuse syndrome, and gave me wrist splint to wear while I worked. I asked if it could be carpal tunnel, and she said no because of lack of pain. I'm kind of skeptical of the diagnosis because symptoms seem to match exactly from what I read online. Pain isn't a necessary condition. I only had pain like in the couple days before the numbness started. (I thought my hand was just sore) The first couple weeks while working the numbness/tingling was pretty apparent. It got especially bad while sleeping like you. Writing and playing guitar also activated it. I've since taken a couple weeks off work though (I could do that because I'm working with temp agencies right now), and it has improved dramatically . The tingling is only slight now and the extreme numbness no longer activates while sleeping. I'm really hoping it goes away. This shit is so discouraging to get early in my career. I'm worried getting back to work will undo the progress.

Also, one of these helped a lot when I first got the symptons. It prevents my wrist and fingers from curling while I sleep.

I don't have carpal tunnel, but I've dealt with tendonitis in my wrist off and on over the past ten years. I'm so sorry you're going through this - it's miserable and affects so many everyday things!

For sleeping, if you can isolate your wrist so that it remains in a neutral position and not bent funny or curled under, that can help a lot. The easiest way to do this is with a splint, which you might even be able to find at a pharmacy.

For the daytime, I'd suggest using kinesiology tape to support your wrist/hand/forearm but still be flexible. There are several youtube videos that show where to apply the tape for carpal tunnel.

Yes, I have pregnancy carpal tunnel and have since about 18 weeks. I wear a splint to bed every night and it has completely fixed the pain.

I got this one: https://www.amazon.com/Futuro-Night-Wrist-Support-Adjustable/dp/B0057D86QA/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1495577012&sr=8-2&keywords=night+splint+carpal+tunnel

Braces can be cheaper than that, depending on where you go. I've also been blessed with carpal tunnel in my pregnancy (mine actually started around the beginning of the third trimester too so I've been dealing with it for a bit).

My brace was about $15 at Walmart (this is the one I have). It helps tremendously for me. I have a sedentary job and it does make it difficult to type but I've adjusted to that and the pain is just so much better.

I bought a different one for sleep since that one isn't very comfortable to sleep in (this one for sleep). It doesn't provide nearly as much support but it does keep the wrist straight overnight which helps with the pain in the morning.

I've thankfully only had it in my right hand but I can feel it developing in my left as well now. Hoping that doesn't get too bad and I can hold off on getting more braces since I'm almost done now!

Agree with the carpal tunnel. I've got it in both wrists since about 24 weeks. It started with the painfully numb hands overnight and then my dominant hand has progressed to being numb throughout the day after doing various tasks. Doesn't help that my job is 99% computer data entry.

Anywho, dr said to wear the braces and they help SO much. After a while I've just gotten used to wearing them. I have a sturdy daytime one to use on my dominant hand and a super comfortable cushy (but sturdy) pair to wear at nighttime.This is the nighttime one that I use and its amazing!

I wear a wrist brace at night and try to not sleep on my hands if I can help it.

Do yourself a favor and buy a night brace on Amazon, I had to do it a few weeks ago as I was experiencing extremely similar pains. The brace will help put your hand/rest in a neutral position while you sleep. Your hand might feel stiff the first night or two but it passes. Make sure to do wrist/hand exercises now too! Rests and breaks are key!

I had pain in my wrists when I started out. It's gone now but this is what I did to fix it:

• took two weeks off playing
  
• slept with wrist braces to keep my wrists in a neutral position all night. This maximizes circulation and promotes healing. I still sleep with these.
  
• stretch for 5 mins before every practice session
  
• applied Penetrex anti-inflammatory cream after a long practice session.
  
• practiced in front of a mirror to make sure my posture was good and there were no awkward angles in my wrists
  
• switched to classical position and got a nice adjustable foot stool.
  
  That pretty much cleared it up, but I didn't have any serious pain or anything. Just the early onset of something nasty. Definitely take care of it now before it gets bad.

I wouldn't worry so much... They aren't going to make you have surgery, they are just going to tell you to wear a brace, take some advil (with food), and do some carpal tunnel exercises. The brace you have in your post is good, but if its too annoying, take out the metal piece and adjust it to make it more comfortable. If you have to, wear it without the metal piece.

Surgery is for extreme cases. You need to change a few things that you do.

1. Get a wrist rest pad for your keyboard, maybe this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004Z5RA/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1535523722&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B001E67TAI&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=19WWTDNH67TK7RKAHDSX
   
   
2. Use your cell phone less, its really bad on your wrists in some positions. So if you play a lot of games or do a lot of stuff on your phone or tablet, cut it down as much as you can.
   
   
3. Try to cut down doing anything that hurts your wrists or puts pressure or causes pain for a while.
   
   Also, they make wrist rests for night time, but they aren't very comfortable and you can't really wear them during the day:
