If you have a tfcc tear in your wrist, this is exactly what you need! It doesn’t look like much but holy cow does it work amazingly well! They gave me my first one at the Drs office and I was thinking, what could that possibly do??? But boy was I wrong! The pain was gone immediately! Read more
Great support for golfers struggling with wrist pain too. Dealing with lingering pain/soreness from a broken bone in my wrist years ago. This brace helps drastically and I can wear it on my Glove hand, too! Read more
I have TFCC tear that's been surgically repaired but still pops from time to time and is weak. I was using various different full wrist braces to give the pain and weakness relief. I'm happy I took a chance and tried this brace as it is simple, but somehow works to alleviate the pain. I'm giving it 4 stars because it cost so much for something so simple, so the company is profiting big time off people suffering. So yea, that kind of sucks. Read more
I tore my TFCC about 12 years ago. I was in a lot of pain and was desperate for some relief. I came across the Wrist Widget and gave it a try. I was disappointed because I thought it had no effect. I even called out to Hawaii and spoke to Wendy Medieros, the inventor. After a couple of years, I grew to understand the injury a bit more and it eventually it became a non issue. Until a couple of months ago. For some reason, my wrist again became an issue again a few months ago. I figured,"What do I have to lose?, and bought another one. I put it on and I was astounded. The relief was instant. The product did not change. Possibly, because the injury was older, more mature and there wasn't as much swelling, but it didn't matter. I put it on and the issues, the discomfort, etc. was gone immediately. My wife dug out the old one and now I have 2, one to work out and get sweaty in and one to wear for everyday life. It's been about 6 weeks and I am finally comfortable enough to take it off. The issues are greatly reduced and I can go about my daily life without it. But, I am keeping it available in case I get another flare up. I can't say enough good things about the Wrist Widget. Read more
The wrist brace does help with pain and is a neat and simple design that fits underneath medical gloves if you work in the field. The cons are that it is made of the material they make extension cord wraps out of and the plastic velcro has sharp edges that chafe really bad. Attached is my wrist after one day. The material has rubbed through a few layers of skin and is really uncomfortable to wear. I have played with the tension several times trying to find the sweet spot but the material continues to cut in when I move. I really wish they were made of something more suitable for longterm wear Read more
I really did not have high hopes for this tiny little band but boy does it work! If your doctor has mentioned TFCC then this is the wrist band for you. It’s has improved my pain ten fold. It is slightly uncomfortable after wearing for several hours but nothing crazy. Just a little itchy. It has help up well after using daily for sever weeks. Read more
I ordered my wrist widget just over a month ago when my wrist (ulner side) was so painful, I was thinking that I was going to have to give up or take a very long break from my favorite game of Pickleball. My wrist has been problematic for months and I have tried two other wrist braces. The wrist widget that I originally ordered was slipping and so I did what some of the other reviewers advised and I contacted the company. Wendy responded right away and sent out the XS Wrist widget which when I used with tape, fit perfectly. In a short period of just a few weeks, my wrist feels 90% better. I can't explain how it works but I am so happy to be playing pickleball again. I do wear it everyday and always when I am playing. The other reviewers were correct about the customer service being phenomenal. I do highly recommend starting with this wrist brace. It is a bit more expensive but you will be buying it eventually after trying all the other braces. Read more
I damaged my ulna area of my dominant hand two years ago and the doctor suggested a cortisone injection which I just didn’t want to commit to for various reasons. I did a lot of research on how to reduce the pain associated with the strain and found that this product might offer some help and I think it has. The larger wrist braces are bulky, hot and over time seem to make my wrist weaker. The wrist widget offers just the right amount of support to the area. The only issue, and it’s a major one, is that it slides off the position it is meant to stay in. So I am all day long, every hour or more, having to adjust it back into place. I understand that perhaps using a piece of thin rug mat, the rubbery weave that you place under rugs to keep the rug in place, could be cut to size and used to keep the wrist widget in place but I don’t have any of that handy. Is the wrist widget actually helping to support my wrist?? Maybe…. Does it give me the psychosomatic effect that my wrist is being supported? Yes, for sure. I still wear it two years later. Read more
