I recently injured my right index finger pulling a door open. The pain is between first and second knuckle. Do you think this will help?

I can't imagine it will help your pain subside if that's what your asking, it will help strengthen your figure without a doubt.

I'd make the guess that it would be better to wait until you finger heals, then exercise it? The red hand gripper is really good, I do about 80 reps with each hand and get that forearm burn going....

Try it, it will work some of those muscles, and there's also some other good exercises in Treat Your Own Hand and Thumb Osteoarthritis that should help.

If your finger is injured than I would best suggest you get the low resistance / tension one. Don't get the medium or heavy tension until your finger is back to normal. It will increase the healing process very drastically.

This brace has a hard material along the outside of the thumb, which might protect you from pain. However, depending on the type of injury you have, the hard material might also cause pain if bumped. I suggest that you buy it and try it. If it doesn't work, return it. I believe if you say the reason for return is that the product does not work, your return shipping is free. You might check that with Amazon first.

Yes! I would recommend taping the pinky to the ring as the pinky has a wide range of abduction and opposition. Taping the ring to the pinky along with the splint should help calm it down as well. All the best to you!

It should. I personally use it with gauze pads whenever I need to. It really depends on how you wrap it around the area. Hope everything works out well for you. And that your thumb completely heals.

I have fairly small hands and tried to use one splint on the 2 fingers you mentioned and it didn't work. It kept popping off as there's not enough velcro to keep it on 2 fingers. They are made for only one finger. I use my splint for my middle finger and after a couple weeks wearing it during the day and at night, I now only have to use it at night. Best little splint, from my personal experience. Hope yours gets better.

Buttons are Way harder than a cell phone. It does take light pressure to press the buttons. If your arthritis is fairly bad, It would be painful to push. It is just as easy to use yor knuckle to press the keypad. Maybe that would be less painful. I have Arthritis in the thumb, but my fingers are fine. If I had to push the buttons with my thumb when the pain is flairing, I would feel the twinge. Yes, there is a nag beep when done.

Can't say. I can say it didn't so well for the thumb arthritis/tendinitis I had. So if you have those ailments, consider something else.

If by the top of the hand, you mean palm, then yes, it does cover that part. You can manipulate it a little big, too. Also, Jessica, if you purchase it and it doesn't work for you, amazon has a fantastic return policy. I know that's a pain, but if it's not what you need, then don't keep it. I hope you get relief soon. If there is any thing else I can help you with, let me know. Hand pain is just a pain, isn't it?

My husband wears gloves to relieve pain in ring and pinky finger. Nerve in arm was severed and surgery did not help to return feeling to fingers. Gloves help to relieve pain.

yes, the index finger rolls off the back side of the bolster. Its spring assisted to about the half way open point.

The lock feature keep the opener closed with little hand pressure once the can is pierced.....So, that removes the necessity of maintaining a strong grip on the 2 handles when opening a can.Yes, much easier on arthritic hands.

I believe so. I have short fingers and the glove fingertip openings are below the top knuckle. Plenty of freedom!

"Yes" and "no". "Yes", working out heavy duty, practice for the actual self - defense. Plus prevents any possible hand and wrist injuries. Ligaments and tendons brusing. "No", light duty workouts. Proper techniques, especially "hooks", on all punches use the "index" & "middle" fingers' knuckles. Hooks - fist / punches in a vertical. In an angled fist, the "ring" & "pinky" knuckles may fracture to the meta carpal (top of the hand - wrist to the knuckles. It will swell up and pain), also known as "Boxer 's Fracture". Research in Youtube for proper techniques, wrist (straight), forearm (leveled), hip (are in torque motion), feet (pivot on the balls of your feet), & hand (proper technique & position). Be safe, have fun, prevent any possible injuries to you & other. All about being / staying healthy & having fun. Enjoy. : )

I'm age 63, and I have joint pain, BUT, I can still use my little can opener. Each person who has problems with their hands might be different. I say buy one and try it, if it causes you pain to use it give it to a family member. They are so reasonable it would be worth the money. I really love them, I carry one in my purse on my key ring.I hope that helps you! Lady Survivalist -

I had pulled my adductor muscles. Felt like a groin pull. This brace helped tremendously. Good luck.

I believe if you are able to open a car door using the handle then you should not have a problem with this. Also, in time using this may in fact help strength your grip. I pray this helps and you are able to use it! You might initially use both hands to help too if you are very weak. God Bless You!

I also have arthritis and it is a little difficult. I use a butter knife to open.
