Customer Reviews of PAIR of Thermoskin Carpal Tunnel Braces with Dorsal Stay, Black , Left & Right Medium
Customer Review: Computer nerd finds pain relief without surgery
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a computer programmer. I have been coding 8-26 hours a day (yes) since 1989.
Within the past year, I would get home and my hands would be KILLING me. Tight, sore, felt like arthritis burn in my joints. Achy and stressed. My forearms felt tight, tired, and painful. I did not have the night-wakeups with the dead hands that is typical of CTS, however I was getting scared nonetheless. I make my money on my hands, and let it go as long as I could, but just reached a point where I had to do something.
I'm not sure if it's CTS, Repetitive Stress Injury, or what is going on. I am skeptical of the medical industry generally speaking, and from much research on the topic, many people feel that CTS is merely the symptom. There's a source causing it, and while you can relieve the symptom, it's better to cure what's causing it. Approaching my condition with that mentality, I wanted to try some therapy before going the medical route.
I bought these and slapped em on for about two weeks. About a week in, I was noticing a SIGNIFICANT difference in my pain. I wore these day and night. Weeks 3 and 4 I only wore them occasionally. And after the first month, my hands weren't back to new, but if the pain I had was 100% prior, I'd say my aches and pains are now about a 5%. I don't wear them much anymore. If I have a particularly stressful and long week at the computer, I will use them when the pain gets bad, and they do bring relief.
For me, this product was exactly what I needed. Everyone who is reading this is in a different spot, but for me and whatever my condition is, these have allowed me to get back to crankin' out code and not having to go home and do nothing with my hands because they hurt too much. I'm even back to playing drums on rock band, which is pretty big.
PROS
* Excellent fit. I am 5'10" skinny male with thin to average hands, and got the mediums. I measured according to the sizing sheet, and the fit was great, so use the sizing guide
* The skin that they are in is outstanding in the winter. I'm freezing at work pretty much all of the time, and these definitely warmed up my hands a bit.
* I guess above all, they helped relieve the pain, tremendously.
CONS
* The inner stitching in the nook of my thumb and forefinger was abrasive. The first few days it was definitely an irritant, but not enough to stop using them. Next version of these, the stitching should be of a softer material
* In the summer, they do get warm. And sweaty, and they will definitely retain an odor. Washing them is no biggie, you remove the metal (no effort required, the gloves have openings where each metal piece slides out), toss them in the wash, and it's all good.
This is my first and only pair of braces, I have nothing to compare them to. I started with this nice, more expensive pair because I didn't want to get some cheap crap, wear it for a month and find out they didn't help.
I would not hesitate to give these a try if your story is similar to mine. Best of luck to everyone who is fighting this.

Description of PAIR of Thermoskin Carpal Tunnel Braces with Dorsal Stay, Black , Left & Right Medium
Thermoskin Carpal Tunnel Brace with Dorsal Stay has Velcro locking straps together with a metal splint positioned at 25 degrees. Allows for increased circulation and provides the protection and support needed for treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Has an additional dorsal splint that protects the wrist from movements that can lead to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Increases circulation to aid in the treatment of RSI and tendonitis.Thermoskin Thermal Supports utilize the exclusive patented Trioxon® lining that is clinically proven to capture your natural body heat. Unlike other products, Trioxon allows your skin to ventilate and remain comfortably dry even with long-term use. Competitive products trap the perspiration resulting in discomfort, slippage, risk of infection and unpleasant odor. The Trioxon lining creates a microclimate to help the skin breathe while still providing effective heat therapy. This is the secret of Thermoskins long-term comfort for the user. You can even wear Thermoskin for extended periods of time without the discomfort you would have with other products.
How Thermoskin works: The application of prolonged heat therapy to the effected area is a simple and quick form of treatment. Heat therapy promotes healing by opening up the small blood vessels, increasing blood flow and facilitating the removal of inflammation. Heat therapy assists your bodys natural healing process. The combination of this heat therapy along with the support and light compression provided by Thermoskin Thermal Supports help prevent, treat and rehabilitate soft tissue injuries.
