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

There's a lot to cover, so I appologize if this review is scattered. I'll start off by saying I purchased one for each wrist. I'm a long term (10+ years) sufferer of carpal tunnel syndrome. I would consider my left wrist to be chronic and my right more of a standard level. I say chronic because it used to frequently send pain all the way up to my shoulders and could easily keep me up at night. I'm not saying these immediately solved all my issues. You've got to give them time. I'm writing this a little over 3 weeks with heavy use of this product. Typically, I'll use my Mueller's Green on my left and full-stability Mueller's on my right during sleeping hours then when I wake up I'll put on, what my husband has jokingly referred to them as, my spiderman bracelets. These will only come off while I shower or swim. Given the severity of my left wrist, I wasn't expecting immediate results. My career as a Medical Transcriptionist has given me no other choice but to do a repetitive movement DAILY (typing). This has absolutely been causing me pain, until I found these. Occasionally, I do experience the pain up to my shoulder with my right wrist, but it's not nearly as frequent as my left. Within an hour or 2 of putting them on I felt that, but bare in mind I was still getting used to a positioning that was good for me and I hadn't found it yet. I didn't throw in the towel, though. After 2 weeks of consistent use, swelling in my wrists that I didn't even know I had went down. I can tell this by looking at my wrists, but also the braces seem to be able to tighten more. (I've always had tiny wrists, but I attributed their change in size to my weight gain). Since then my pain has dramatically decreased. It's almost as if now that the swelling is gone there's less of a barrier and the braces can work more efficiently. I did a little experiment and after I went swimming Tuesday afternoon I didn't put my braces back on. I used my night braces probably every other night and it seems as though these bad boys have reversed some damage. I decided to put them back on this fine Friday morning before tackling some work. There was a dull pain in my left wrist, I'm obviously not 100% rid of carpal tunnel, but I can live now. Bottom line, these have been life-changing. I'm a stay at home/work at home mom who doesn't have the time to recover from surgery. These have given me relief with no time off from my daily activities and I couldn't be more satisfied. If you're looking for an immediate fix all, you're asking too much. If you want to see improvements over the course of a month or so and have patience and consistency, this product is for you. The Velcro portion of these bracers is PERFECT. It sticks amazingly, tightens to how much I'd like, leaves an indent over time so I know where I've been tightening it to, soft on the inside so it's not itchy or irritating and is a nice, dark black. I've let the seller know that if they decide to make a premium version available in the future that uses metal instead of plastic and the padding is black, I'd be all over it. Maybe pretty grey brushed metal and black as options. People don't ask me about them or think twice, they're non-obtrusive and the size of watches. P.S. I do use the thicker padding in mine. The box comes with thicker and thinner options. I also recommend slipping them off when you wash your hands because I've accidentally gotten soapy water on the pads and while they clean up nicely you have to wait for them to dry. Just wash your hands, dry your wrists and reapply them. Lastly, customer service for this product is tier 1. Quick response and they genuinely care about the product they're distributing and helping people. Thank you :)

I am pleasantly surprised to say that I do believe this brace is helping. I have a diagnosis of moderate to severe carpel tunnel syndrome, which causes pain, numbness and a "pins and needles" feeling in my wrist and thumb/index fingers. I've been instructed by the doctor to wear a very restrictive brace at night. That does seem to also be effective in helping with the symptoms, but it leaves me with no support for my wrist during the daytime. Most of the braces out there are very restrictive and it seemed like I wasn't going to find anything which would help with the problem, but still let me do my work (which includes much time on the computer) and live my life. I thought I'd give this one a try. I've been wearing it for over a month. I will note here that I have decided to take a holistic approach to the carpel tunnel in the form of wearing the night and the day braces, acupuncture, and physical therapy. However, I started wearing the M Brace RCA before starting the acupuncture and PT, so I do have a good gauge for its effectiveness. I still have the pain and the numbness, etc., related to CTS, however it has indeed decreased since I started wearing the M Brace RCA. Even the physical therapist thought wearing it was a good idea. Additionally, the vendor was true to their word and sent me more pads for free. I'm going to keep at this and hopefully the CTS will go away on its own, because surgery is not appealing to me. I think that it's worth a try to buy this brace and follow the instructions for how to wear it.
