I have had some MAJOR wrist issues over the last 6 months. The things that have helped me more than any solid style brace are excersizes(a grip ball & any type of wrist excersizer with tension), as well as a wrist "support" from walgreens. My support is just like a little ace bandage with a velcro strap to make it tighter.
I find this helps me with the wrist pain MUCH more than anything ive ever tried in the form of a true wrist brace.
