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

It’s all about pickleball for me. Wearing the wrist widget freed my hand from a larger more cumbersome wrist brace which wasn’t great at pain blocking, which made me overwork other muscles. The widget gently blocks the ulna from moving around and I’m pretty much pain free. I only wear it when I play. I also has an excellent occupational therapist who brought me to this point. I recommend both.Of course when I opened the box I said “really? That’s it?” After wearing it I wish I’d invented it.See you on the courts!

I scoured the internet trying to find an accurate description of the wrist pain I get from golf. I don’t have golfers elbow. I have pain over my wrist bone on the pinky side. Digging in there is super painful, and it’s very touchy and aches during normal activities, let alone hitting balls. Found a YT video that finally described my pain (it was a weightlifter doctor) and this product was recommended.This thing is like an eraser for that pain. Instant relief. I couldn’t wear it while hitting balls until I put athletic tape over it to smooth the edges. Then it’s great.I mostly use it not hitting balls when that pain kicks in. Helps speed up the healing, as far as I can tell. If I get sore I wear this for daily activities and then two days later the pain is gone.Hope this helps.

I believe I have some sort of injury with the ulnar side of my wrist, and this seems to help out a lot throughout my day, especially while lifting a lot of weight. Without this brace on my wrist, I would experience pain when my wrist would bend, but while wearing it, it almost completely eliminates any and all pain.The only real complaint that I have with this is with the fitment. It's a bit of a process each time to get it to a the perfect tightness. If it's too tight, it restricts my wrist movement too much and it becomes uncomfortable to wear. If too loose, it easily slides up and down my wrist, away from the spot it's supposed to reinforce. I find that it takes a bit of periodic adjustment throughout the day to get it just right, but once it's set correctly, it really does make a big difference.This WristWidget is perfect to wear during the day, as it doesn't limit your wrist movement too much when worn properly. However, I recommend wearing a splinted wrist brace, such as a ComfyBrace wrist brace, during sleep. The splinted brace severely limits your wrist movement, which is actually better for it to heal. I find that this combination leads to a significant reduction in wrist pain.Overall, I highly recommend this WristWidget as well as the ComfyBrace to anyone with an ulnar sided wrist injury like a TFCC tear.

Following a wrist fracture sustained during my military service, I explored various supportive braces, none proving entirely satisfactory. However, this model has effectively mitigated wrist pain during repetitive actions, weightlifting, and hand flexion. While expensive, its efficacy justifies the cost.

For context, I am male, early-thirties, fairly fit. My use of this device is to aid recovery and prevent injury during activity.As is characteristic of many support devices which actually work, the WristWidget does its job but isn't particularly comfortable to wear. The structure of my wrists is such that I have sustained TFCC injuries in the past. They are triggered during lifting, and exacerbating while hiking using poles. The WristWidget's design is targeted to avoid the specific issues many other wrist braces have - they are too soft to provide real support, or put pressure on the styloid. This brace avoids all of that. The velcro is strong, secure, and has very little flex, and you can feel the support it offers when undergoing heavy activity.Why three stars then?First, it's uncomfortable, and needlessly so. The hard edges of the velcro cut into the styloid (on the hand-side), and the material on the inside of the wrist is merely more velcro, albeit the loop side, not the hook. This could have been avoided through adding a layer of softer, padded material on the inside of the brace. If this was twenty dollars cheaper, the current design would be understandable, but for the price it is sold for, such a cost-saving measure is not really justifiable.Second, it is only partially effective. I have found it to be useful to wear so as to avoid further injury and to aid in recovery, but the pain is still there and it doesn't do much to relieve stress placed on the wrist. I suspect that such would not be possible, outside of using a hard brace, but I'm not sure. It definitely helps relieve the pain associate with pressing down with the palm, which makes it useful for avoiding those little shocks of pain TFCC injuries tend to produce - but it isn't quite as effective as they purport. If the gap was wider, and the bands slightly wider (probably), that might be better. They have a wide version, and I might need to try that one instead.Despite these two things, if you have TFCC issues, I would recommend trying it. It is certainly pricey for what it is, but it isn't pricey for what it does, assuming it works for you.
