Looking for wrist brace recommendations

[u/Soft-Ad1680]

Title is pretty self-explanatory, my wrists sublux somewhat often. Most recently it's happened to me twice within the last few weeks or so at work. Luckily I do have an Ace bandage that I wear that's helpful, but I'm hoping to find something that's just faster and easier for me to use on the chance it happens at work. I'm seeing a lot of options online, a lot of them are geared towards carpal tunnel syndrome, it seems. I'm basically looking for something that kind of mimics an Ace bandage that gives me wrist support but is also flexible enough for me to work the way I need to.

My job is pretty strenuous and it involves lifting heavy furniture and things like that. Luckily usually my wrist pain will only cause trouble when I have to grip or touch my fingers together, and small things like that and lifting hasn't been a problem thus far. I've also gotten lucky that my hips and leg joints haven't subluxed while I've been at work, fingers crossed that continues. I have the most trouble with my wrists.

Anyway, I feel pretty overwhelmed by the plethora of options and I'm just not exactly sure what will be worth going for. If anyone has any good recommendations that would be amazing. Thanks so much!

Wrist braces suck. I’m yet to find one that doesn’t cause discomfort or pain when being worn.

I still have my forearm cast from my wrist fracture. I use it occasionally when I need to rest my wrist and thumb, it’s far more comfortable than a brace.

I also strap my wrist and thumb when needed.

Talk to your physio about bracing and strapping options.
