WristWidget® (Blue) Adjustable Wrist Brace for TFCC Tears, One Size fits most. For Left and Right Wrists, Support for Weight Bearing Strain, Exercise

Definitely helps!

this is what I was advised to get, It seemed a bit expensive but it fits nicely and I hope it will help me.

I've been having wrist ligaments pain and wearing a support but not overly effective so tried this and it's been amazing. Really isolated the painful part and so much easier to use going about my day. Highly recommend

Tried this out after being recommended it online for a suspected ECU subsheath tear. This flimsy piece of Velcro did nothing to support my wrist so I've returned it only to not receive a refund, so I feel like I've been robbed out of £23. Avoid and buy an actual wrist splint.

I've been diagnosed with FTCC in both wrists and my physio suggested a wrist widget as regular braces don't help (it hurts to rotate my wrists which isn't prevented by braces). Unfortunately I haven't found I get any relief wearing this product. Even when as tight as possible (and therefore quite uncomfortable) it slips on my wrist so is no longer in the correct position on either side of the ulna within a relatively short period of time. A shame, as I had hoped this might be a product that would ease my pain and support my wrist during the recovery process.

I have suffered from RSI related pain on the thumb side of both wrists for more than 20 years, but about 18 months ago I experienced a really sharp pain on the ulna side of my left wrist (when turning a door handle that I didn't realise had been tightened!!). I strapped it up with one of my many wrist supports I already had and rested it as much as possible. The pain pretty much went away, but a few months later I experienced exactly the same pain (this time from turning he shower knob!!). Out came the variety of wrist supports again for another couple of months. Pain lessened, but never went. Twisted it again on the shower knob a couple of months later!Did some research then about ulna sided pain and came across the wrist widget. (you may ask at this point why I didn't visit my doctor, but that's a long story involving many years of frustration...). Thought I'd give it a try, even though it was a bit priceyWell, at first the pain worsened for a couple of weeks, but then there was a low but noticeable improvement. I wore it 24/7 (either just got it wet in the shower, or wore a plastic bag over my arm. Didn't want to risk the shower knob without it on!!) After a few months I would say the pain had pretty much totally gone.It was at this point I realised I'd actually been wearing the thing the wrong way up for all those months!! The instructions are basic to say the least, and even after watching the videos of how to put it on I has somehow been getting it wrong. I had the harder side against my skin, and the softer side outwards. Ok, I know that seems daft, but it seemed to follow the pictures...I was wearing some "underlay" underneath to stop it scratching too much.So then I started wearing it the right way round, just for security really as the pain was pretty much gone (with the other issues I have with my wrists. it was hard to tell definitively which bit was hurting...). After about 6/7 months I weaned myself off it, and went cold turkey with no strapping. This lasted a glorious couple of months, then some pain came back, not really sure what caused it, thumb or ulna side, so went back to some general strapping.A year on from buying it, I am back wearing it again, but again it is really just for security. Having had 20 years of RSI issues, it kinda feels weird not having strapping on, so I'd rather wear a small inconspicuous thing like this and feel happy. I can report it is still going strong, not too tatty, velcro still holding. Wear it 24/7 EXCEPT in the shower - I am now braving turning the knob very carefully!So although £20 something sounds a lot, I have had my money's worth I think!

I bought this wrist strap after the physio told me I had a TFCC injury from weight lifting and doing handstands (a new lockdown hobby!). The pain was so bad at one point I couldn’t really use my right hand in day to day activities. After a month of doing stretches and resting the wrist it was a bit better but not much.I found the Wrist Widget online and have now been wearing it for a month. It’s been amazing. The pain is my wrist has gone and I can feel it strengthening every week. It’s still not back to full strength yet but it feels like it will be in another few weeks (I’m learning that TFCC injuries are slow to heal). I’ve now been able to incorporate light pushing exercises back into my workouts (whilst wearing the strap and another wrist wrap for security) which would have been impossible a month ago.I’ve found the strap works best when nestled right up against the base of where your hand meets your wrist so that it restricts the ability of your hand to bend backwards. See attached photo. I also find the if you tighten it with your hand splayed out it will allow you to tighten the strap snugly but without cutting off your circulation.I agree with some of the comments saying the materials aren’t worth the money, but I’m judging the value of this based on the value to me (which is much higher), not the value of the materials. You also have to factor in the “cost” of the return policy and the research which has gone into it. So I’m really not complaining about price given that it’s working.I also think the strap is actually quite cool looking to wear. I bought it in black and it matches the Apple Watch I wear on my other wrist. Most of my friends just thought it was a fashion item and I will actually slightly miss wearing it when I can take it off!Overall, if you’re looking for a wrist strap that’s specifically for a TFCC injury that you can wear every day, I would definitely recommend this.
