Q: Has anyone with carpal tunnel used this? I've been getting thumb pain from typing/carpal tunnel and I'm wondering if it would help.
A: If I can bring some relief depending on how severe your carpal tunnel is. It is particularly good for some pain but if your pain radiates into the forearm it probably won’t do you much good.
submitted byBeverlyjean - 8 years agoA: I have not been diagnosed with carpal tunnel, but I do suffer from repetitive motion syndrome. This product has given me a lot of relief. It doesn’t work miracles, but I’m sure glad I have it.
submitted bySugarSkull4ever - 8 years agoA: I used the thumb splint to immobilize my thumb until i had surgery on the 1st carpometacarpal joint for severe arthritis. I'm not sure this splint would help w/carpal tunnel but it was a life saver keeping me pain-free the time i wore it before my surgery.

Q: can this be used for trigger thumb
A: Hello Mac, The FUTURO Deluxe Thumb Stabilizer is designed to provide support for thumb injuries and conditions that require stabilization, such as soreness, sprains, or irritation from repetitive motion. Many customers use thumb stabilizers for symptoms similar to trigger thumb, but because trigger thumb can vary in severity, it’s important to note that this product does not treat the underlying condition-it is intended to offer support and help limit movement. For guidance specific to your situation, including whether this type of support is appropriate for your trigger thumb, please consult a healthcare professional. We appreciate your interest in 3M products!
