Is this a stress reliever as in reducing hand/wrist pain?

I don't think it has any medicinal purpose or value officially. It does compress under your hand and which can be soothing. I've had in on my car for probably close to two years and it still compresses nicely. It has gotten sun faded and there is a small tear on the seam, but it has been a while now. One bonus is that in the summer it doesn't get too hot and in the winter it doesn't get too cold. Ultimately if your hand or wrist is in significant discomfort this won't supply the entire solution for you.

It makes your steering wheel feel much softer so that may improve the feel. That's very subjective. It will not help to reduce your level of 'stress-grip' on your steering wheel. That's still up to you and the insanity of those driving like maniacs around you! I do like this wheel cover since it makes the grip area larger and that has reduced my death-grip tendencies.

I have one (not sure it's the same brand) on my steering wheel, and it feels really comfortable to me. I don't hold the steering wheel in a death grip! That said, I bought this one - the Bell Automotive 22- etc. - for my sister, because she has painfully arthritic hands. She never used it - actually threw it away, because it had a terrible odor. I'm unsure if it was like formaldehyde or skunky/musky, but it was intolerable. It wasn't that expensive, so we decided she'd just throw it away. I haven't pursued another brand with Amazon or checked automotive stores.

It sort of does and after and it cuts the blood circulation of your hand, depending on how long you wear it for. I've used mine for a while, and now i've totally misplaced it. If you need it for work, it's probably a good choice, you just have to get used to it.

As Jeanette B said, I don't think this is a cure anymore than oxycodone is a "cure", but it does bring relief. I have carpal tunnel flair-ups and lower back spasms from time to time and this stuff provides temporary relief.

I'm not sure this will be the right product for you. It does provide compression it is minimal the closer to the wrist you go. I bought this for my son who plays football and uses it to prevent turf burn. If you needed compression higher like elbow area I would say yes.

I dont know...I use it to keep my wrists from folding down - if I dont wear them at night my wrists fold down and I wake up with very sore hands. Dr recommended them to avoid carpal tunnel surgery.

It's comfortable depending on how you have it placed. It's not solid rubber it's like a sponge kind of but there is no wrist rest so it possibly won't prevent carpal tunnel. Hope this answered your questions and concerns.

I find it very useful in this respect. This wonderful contraption can be positioned to reach trigger points on most parts of the body. With practice, you will enjoy great relief. Good luck and feel better.

It could be but I am not sure, as both my husband and I have osteoarthritis in our thumbs and fingers and wrists. Very helpful for that pain but it may be similar to that with carpal tunnel.

If it prevents a repetitive motion you're doing a lot of it might help as carpal tunnel is from increased pressure from overuse. Maybe check out the prevention ex's in the book Treat Your Own Carpal Tunnel Syndrome too.

Yes, perfect for small adult hands. It is more of a soothing support than a brace type support. It is good for minor/slight aching in wrist or thumb.

Well, it didn't really work for me because I had to stretch my thumb to make the buttons work. I was hoping it would help my wrist pain, but it made my thumb sore and fatigued from the stretching. I don't think it works well for small hands.

Hola Dalia,I have used the Mueller Sports Medicine Reversible Thumb Stabilizer, Black, Measure Around Wrist- Fits 5.5 - 10.5 Inches and found that I can still use the computer. It immobilizes your thumb and it has helped relieve the pain I felt in my wrist. I have small hands as well. I recommend that you try it.

no to carpal... I imagine the resistance it gives would make it worse. I had inflamed my carpal last year but was able to get it better before it got too bad, so I understand what you are going through. If you have pain in your wrist, I would avoid many yoga positions - but I am not a doctor so...

I use them for yoga when my wrists are stressed. I'm a drummer for a living. They seem to allow me to practice my yoga routine without a lot of discomfort. I recommend them.

Yes. It doesn't have a ton of cushion, but it is softer than wood. I have one on top of a composite desk, and it made a big difference for my wrist.

I had pain in my left hand and since taking the Glucosamine Sulfate, it has not bothered me. Guess it would be worth a try for you. Good luck.
