I have wrist tendonitis for 5 months, will it work?

It won't help. It is an expensive placebo. The company has bought up a large number of fake web sites so that when you google "Penetrex scam" or "tennis elbow", "Hand pain" and a great deal of others, it links to purchasing the product. This highlights the need for fake websites. The product is a scam and has no analgesic effect other than massage, itself.

It will not cure your tendonitis. It will relieve the pain from it. My tendonitis was helped with cortisone shots and physical therapy. It is the localized pain and tingling from nerve pain that is helped. Best wishes.

Hi, yes this will help you to strenght your hands, fingers and forearms, now i use the varigrip for my fingers and wrist when im on my office (im guitar player), but some years before i broke my wrist and had some injuries on my hand and my therapist give me one of those and it helpme a lot to strengthen, in your varigrip package you can see some exercices to make with, as well on internet (PS. sorry about my english, my native language is spanish ;)

If you have any type of wrist or hand pain or stiffness use this product! I use it for lifting weightsand even doing yardwork. Ive had carpal tunnel for 25 years, this helps a lot!

It was not as effective as the full size but my husband has not had a flare up of tendonitis since using it.

I've been using this device for about 3 months now and it has really improved the strength in my wrists as well as my fingers. I broke my little finger 12 years ago and i was unable to apply any pressure on the strings with it and my wrist would fatigue quickly but since I've been using this device it has really helped!

Go with it! I have dual ulnar impaction, which is a bone disorder causing RSI symptoms. Until I bought this, I was quite ready to go under the knife. It does work as advertised, from my experience. HOWEVER...Please be sure to study the general ergonomics applicable to your work environment. Desk height relative to arm positioning is EVERYthing. I picked up a 700 dollar adjustable electronic desk from Conset (http://www.conset.us/default.aspx). Our company is now using them for all employees ever since I tried it out.

I can definitely relate to that type of pain. Yes, this will be of some help. It's also smaller compared to a regular wrist brace and I even forget I'm wearing it at times. Hope this helps! !

1st) It does not get cold like ice or the gel cold packs. So if you have tendonitis or a swollen ankle it will not work. 2) It is cold for about 7 minutes and cool/cold for about 12 minutes after that.

Combine with a wrist roller and continue your regular workout routine and yes. I have noticed an increase in forearm size and strength in a short time

I don't have any personal experience with tendonitis, but my "reference guide to using essential oils" says this-"If pain and inflammation are results of torn or infected ligaments or tendons, then lemongrass and helichrysum can be helpful when added to any of the above oils." The oils mentioned that could be used were wintergreen, marjoram, basil, cypress, balsam fir, ginger, lavender, peppermint & rosemary. You would not use all of the oils, but could try them in turn. Most oils are used by the drop, but it depends on the size area you are treating. If you are treating a large area, dilute equal drops of oil with vegetable oil. If therapeutic oils ever feel too warm, dilute with a vegetable oil, not water. If sensitivity develops stop using for a while. Good luck! TK

No, Achilles' tendon injuries can take a long time- you should talk with your Dr- mine took over 2 years to heal.

Hi Carmen, I'm not a Dr but if you need to stretch and hold your fingers spread out this will help. They work as pictured. My fingers cramp and curl into my palm. After use my hand relaxed and fingers stay straight longer. It's not a instant fix. I am using mine when ever I'm sitting and find myself trying to stretch out my hand.. You know yourself, try this and see if you are feeling better. I did. This helps my pain. You're already interested, I'd say that you have answered your question. Good luck to you.

I've owned mine for a few months now and use it doing total body workout. My wrists are small and it moves a bit but otherwise no problem.

I feel it is not good for carpel tunnel syndrome because it is important for it to stay secure overnight while sleeping but it does not. The velcro fastener at the base of the wrist guard is supposed to hold it tightly in place but because it is so small, it looses it's grip and moves around. I would suggest you try another brand.

Injuries are such a nuisance! Yes, these should take the strain off your hands and more to the wrist. I'd also suggest keeping your rotator cuff strong too to avoid a shoulder problem - Bulletproof Your Shoulder has some good ex's in it. Happy training!

I will be 50 in April, have had 6 knee operations, and LOVE this series of workout BECAUSE of its low impact! I am now doing the Master Series and use knee bands for my tendinitis when it flares up, but they don't prevent me from doing the workouts! He shows how to modify the exercises for folks with knee problems and constantly reminds you to protect your knees! Not knowing what your knee issues are, I would say you would be fine. If in doubt, ask your doctor. Good luck!

Hi, I don´t have serious problems with wrist pains at all. Nevertheless doing pushups without the V2´s creates an uncomfortable feeling in my wrists and they feel a bit "stiff" afterwards. With the V2´s that is much better. So I don´t know, whether the V2 can reduce your wrist pain after the exercise but I could imagine that they will. A good test could be doing bench press with heavy dump-bell´s (similar effect like pushups with the V2). If you have less/no pain during/after the bench press execise in contrast to doing regular pushups I could imagine the V2 will help. Otherwise I doubt. Hope that helps a bit ;-) Hi, I don´t have serious problems with wrist pains at all.
