While specific splint recommendations should come from your healthcare provider, there are several options available at pharmacies and online. The key is finding one that provides proper support and compression for your thumb.

Many myRAteam members have found relief using wrist and thumb splints. One member shared that using splints helped prevent twisting motions that can aggravate pain. Important steps before choosing a splint:

• Consult with your rheumatologist or physical therapist to find the best option for your specific needs
• They may recommend a custom-made splint depending on your condition
• They can also provide guidance on when and how long to wear the splint
• They'll help create a proper splinting regimen that works for you

Remember that while splints can help control pain and inflammation, they should be part of a comprehensive treatment approach.
