Fatigue

Cody Lunning

I know things such as work bench height, better lighting for your eyes, etc have been covered before. But I have a specific area. I broke my wrist 6 years ago pretty bad. It’s healed now but give me fits from time to time. I’ve noticed lately that after sewing for half a day or more. The next day it’s in bad shape. I often wear a brace at nights, but it’s big and bulky and has metal in it. Holds it a bit too solid to work with it on. Has anyone ever had to work with some sort of brace to help with fatigue in this area. I’m thinking maybe a compression wrap next time I’m there for long periods to see if even that helps.

Have you tried carpal tunnel braces

I broke my wrist about ten years back and had surgery to repair it. Since then it gives me trouble from time to time so I wrap my wrist in athletic tape to help prevent aggravating it from a long day of sewing.

@Peter Pittel I actually have one of those after I googled it. The metal in mine is too restricting to move while sewing. Unless my search didn’t come up with what you were talking about.

@Naseem Muaddi I actually called the dr where I lived when I broke mine. Cause I had a good brace I wore often till it disappeared. So she gave me the name and I can order it online. (Cheaper this way) my pain is the wrist I shattered but it stems mostly from the thumb joint by the hand anymore. So this is a neoprene flexible thumb support and wrist support. It’s mostlt for compression on the wrist

I believe the ones I am referring to can be bought at a pharmacy and don't have any metal in them. I used them before my carpel tunnel surgery.
