Carpal Tunnel Wrist Pain Relief (Regular, Black)

At the recommendation of my general Dr, I went to my local drug store to see what they had for carpal tunnel support to see if it would address the deep numbness I was having in my dominant, right hand for problems I was having during the day, but even worse at night when I was sleeping. I would wake up with a dead, numb right hand that I would have GREAT difficulty in waking back up and it hurt considerably. There's nothing like being woken up out of a good sleep from a sharp, bad pain; much less it taking a long time to get it to stop feeling that way! I am also over weight and was scared that I was having other severe health issues and it really scared me.The local drug store had a few things, but nothing that they recommended and/or that would fit me, so they ended up ordering some over the counter support braces for carpal tunnel they thought would work for me. But when they arrived, they were not only too small, but I could tell they would be quite cumbersome to wear even if they did fit. But with what I had going on, I was prepared to wear WHATEVER it is that I needed to because of the pain I was having. But since they did not have something I could purchase and be done with that day, I was disappointed because I had already waited and was wanting something that day. And I was wanting to actually 'touch and feel' what I was going to probably have to wear for the rest of my life, and I'm 46.Since I live in a small town, I figured I would go home and look it up online to do the research I felt I needed to do and then eventually goto a nearby bigger city where I could have some better (and undoubtedly more expensive) choices to choose from - even if it meant going to see a specialist. I don't have health insurance. And although needing to be frugal, I also needed to get this properly addressed.In the meantime, I looked up carpal tunnel support on Amazon, found this product and spent time going through all of the reviews and researching it on the web and found this guys web site. All you have to do is google the name of this product and you will easily find it. Turns out he developed this product out of a need of it for it himself. He has quite the story of being an exceptional typist and is a very good read, and is worth your time to find it to read for yourself.I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT HIS PRODUCT FLAT OUT WORKS! If you are in doubt, just do yourself a favor and just go ahead and purchase it, put it on correctly and see for yourself!One of the things he does say is that the carpal tunnel syndrome did not come on its on. So in addition to wearing the support, we need to change our habits that caused the problem to start with. For computer users, he strongly recommends the use of an ergonomic keyboard. I am still needing to follow that advice and have not done so yet. But I do try to have better typing habits than I did before.I bought it and I usually wear it 24/7 with no problems at all. Most people think it's one of those new electronic fit devices. I don't mind wearing it because it's not different than wearing a watch. He's the kind of guy that I think should be on the TV show Shark Tank getting them to help him with licensing out his product to both watch and those same 'fit item' manufacturers I mentioned earlier.Before purchasing this for myself, I seen a number of negative reviews on here and I'll tell you that you just have to sort out the nonsense is all I can say. I do not mean any disrespect to anyone at all and we have to all do what works best for us. But it's because of those reviews that I was as skeptical as I was in buying it and is why I felt like this comprehensive review needed to be done.Folks - this is not for everyone. It's going to take more than 2 seconds of wearing this thing for it to work and if you are not prepared to wear it 24/7 and to wear it properly, then you may as well either deal with the pain or go have the surgery. Or at the very least, do NOT buy this product if you do not plan on using it as directed to. If this is too hard to wear and deal with, then you should actually, physically try on those carpal tunnel splints that cover your entire wrist and hand before buying one of these. My mother hand the surgery done on both of her hands years ago, they did them one at a time, and I remember her being out of work for at least three months or more for each time, and she had to wear those large splints with the big metal thing in it long term. So I am honestly telling you that this thing is a genuine God send for me...And if it works for me, I simply do not understand how it couldn't work for someone else. I am not exaggerating the problems I was having at all and if anything, I did not go into enough detail of the pain that I WAS having. So there I am, 2-3-4-5am in the morning, a dead, numb right hand, it hurts, I can't get it to wake up. I sit up. I get out of bed. I hold my hand up in the air, put it down towards the floor. I shake it up/down, left/right. As weird as it sounds, putting it over the heater or in the sink over running water would allot of times be the only thing that would get it going again. And I'm not talking about like when your foot goes to sleep and it takes a minute or so to shake it off. I would be 10-15mts or more of up/down, left right, heater, water....... Enough to make you almost loose your mind. I'll tell you what it was though. It was enough for me to go see a Dr about it like I mentioned to start with...Anyways, to put it on and make it work effectively, he says to clinch a fist, put it on and lightly snug it, release fist and there you go. I had to find my 'comfort zone' while it still had some tension on it. But I obviously found the right spot because it is like I said, it is working for me 100%! It is NOT going to work if you wear it like a loose watch. It is designed to be slightly snug on the wrist. I don't even think about it being on there.One guy mentioned it breaking on him. I am sure if you put enough pressure on it in the right way that it would break. But I am going to tell you that this thing is hard as a rock! If I put my hand flat on the floor and try to get up, it does put an extreme amount of strong pressure on the device. But you know what, it also hurts my hand and I know not to do that and I find a different way of getting up off of the floor and/or I take it off. The good news for that buyer and any others that have problems with the product is that he touts the obvious by reassuring the buyer that they have "Amazon's Money-Back Guaranty!." If I somehow manage to break mine, I am going to tell you that I will simply buy another because it flat out works for me! It's like someone buying a car and saying every time they drive towards a tree they wreck, but instead of acknowledging some improper judgement, it's either the fault of the manufacturer of the car and/or the tree.It took a while of wearing it, but I no longer wake up at night with a dead, numb hand that I can't seem to find a way to wake up. I bought it on 03/21/15, today is 05/10/15, and I know it's been well over a month since I have had the problems I was having. I just don't even think about it anymore. In between showers, sometimes I forget and leave it home and I still notice my hand doing better through out the day. But I do prefer to wear it all the time now because it is quite comfortable and I know it is working.I believe in letting others know when I have received either a great service or have bought a great product. So that is why I am so enthused about writing such a great detailed review.I hope this helps the next person doing the same research I did for the same problems I was having.I wish everyone the same success I have had with this product.Sincerely,Billy in East Tennessee

This M Brace is a miracle worker. I have been diagnosed with carpal tunnel for the last 6 years. I am avoiding surgery and this brace has lessened the pain and discomfort tremendously. I very much recommend as I am ordering another 3 more to keep at work and home.

I bought this brace several days ago on a recommendation from a friend. I received it in the mail last night & put it on after my shower. At first I wasn't sure I was wearing correctly & didn't know if it was on too tightly. But I wore it anyway. I went to bed wearing it. Now it is 11 hrs later & my wrist hurts more in this brace than in my other bulky 1. Also it feels like my thumb is more numb now than it was.The next morning I awoke with the same pain as the night before & my thumb is still numb. It wasn't numb with the larger previous brace I had been wearing. I also have to wear it kind of tight on my wrist (to where it leaves a mark from the plastic) because the part of the strap where the velcro attaches to the strap loops through the plastic & is awkward. It is either too tight or too loose. And yes, I made a fist before securing the brace.On the plus side the seller is very quick to respond to my concerns, but I feel like the response is generic. Just my opinion.I will wear it over the weekend (2 more days) to give it a chance to do what it says it's supposed to do, but may be going back to my bulky brace.

I was very skeptical about this, but I figured "why not try it?" I'm generally pretty wary of placebos (and this really looks like one).After about 2 days of use, I'm starting to see what people mean when they say the difference is most noticeable when you're not wearing it. I'm purchasing another because after 2 days of heavy use (8 - 12 hours of typing per day) I'm already starting to notice my wrist pain (comparatively speaking) has shifted from my right (which is what I've been primarily wearing this on) to my left which is not using a brace.It does take a lot of experimentation to figure out what works. Sometimes I need to change its position multiple times throughout the day. I've had mixed success using this as a night brace. I have to experiment more.I docked a star because of how vague the instructions and explanation of efficacy are. It gives a lot of options for how to wear it, promoting experimentation, yet notes that it may take a month to notice a difference. That's not really useful information. Having more guidance as to where to wear it based on where the pain is would be immensely helpful. I think I'm one of the lucky ones since it seems I got it right after 4 or 5 tries.One thing that I'm still skeptical of (and concerns me) is whether this is actually promoting healing, or if it's hiding the issue. Like if it's making my wrists more prone to pain when not wearing than they were before. That would explain a lot of people's reactions here. I'd like to understand more about why this works. For now I don't care - being able to type for long periods of time again is wonderful.I'll update this again if anything changes.
