I have more than once caught myself wishing they made such a thing for elbows. Not sure they would be firm enough for your needs though...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041000800660428069.post-1876686766161719812010-08-24T12:09:23.138-05:002010-08-24T12:09:23.138-05:00WinnyNinny, Bike gloves - I never would have thoug...WinnyNinny, Bike gloves - I never would have thought of that. Thanks for the great suggestions.<br /><br />Selena, I'm surprised too. Thankfully one of the Mayo docs had the good sense to write a prescription for PT. I like your idea of the ace bandage and the tennis ball - or the sock. Great ideas! I'll email you for pics.

Surprised ...Wow, that is a lot of experimentation! Surprised though that your MD didn't send you to a physical therapist to help you with these problems and night time solutions... <br /><br />I think you might have been onto something with the stress ball. I wonder if holding a tennis ball in your hand and wrapping an ace bandage over both your hand and the ball would work. You could cut the toe area off a sock and make a hole for your thumb in the side and wear it between your hand and the tennis ball as well.<br /><br />I have a custom splint a physical therapist made for me that works like this. Shoot me an email and I can send you some pictures.Selenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15206796913550353670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041000800660428069.post-31781505152634260012010-08-22T17:52:55.591-05:002010-08-22T17:52:55.591-05:00Have you tried Bicycle gloves (which are very stre...Have you tried Bicycle gloves (which are very stretcy elastic as a base? People who do data entry use them to help with hand cramps.<br /><br />I hand sewed a roll about 2x the size of a roll of quarters about a decade ago when I had trouble with contractures from a tendon injury on my right hand. I also sewed some beads on it so when I gripped it too tight at night I would wake up. It was stretchy Knit and filled with firmly packed fiberfill. It did help! Good luck!WinnyNinny PooPoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237156887425609665noreply@blogger.com
