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.

I bought this as I have what is assumed to be tendonitis. My wrist is 16cm so the medium should fit well but it is very snug - I would say if your wrist is any bigger than that, or might swell, then to get the next size up. You do have to pull it on and off with quite some force so if you're going to find that painful I'd look for a velcro strap one instead. I like the look and feel of it but over long periods of time I do find I get a sore at the base of my thumb. It does seem to relieve pain though and provide the support I need so I would recommend.

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.

Tight around the thumb

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 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.

Seems to work well in terms of pain relief. The only complaint I have is that it's shorter than the photos suggest and slightly shorter than the listing states.

I have rheumatoid arthritis and have several Doctor Arthritis supports for various body parts. Recently I’ve had pain and weakness on the outside of my hand, wrist and lower arm. It’s more noticeable when I’m at work and writing a lot. This support is very good because it allows my fingers to be free whilst supporting the base of my hand and wrist. It has a gel cushioning at the side which adds extra support without being intrusive. I find it very comfortable to wear with plenty of room for my thumb to come through and the top isn’t too tight. My wrist is just under 15cm so I bought the small size and it fits perfectly. The support sealed in a box, with a handbook filled with info, tips and exercises. It is giving me a certain amount of pain relief and definitely making me more comfortable so I am happy to recommend it.
