PUSH MetaGrip CMC Thumb Brace for Arthritis Pain Relief | Thumb Stabilizer & Support for CMC Joint Osteoarthritis Pain | Adjustable & Comfortable (Left Hand, Small)

I love this brace! It allows me to bowl which is why I ordered it. It gives my thumb stability and there’s less pain.

If you’re close to the top of the small range, I recommend ordering medium. But overall, this product is worth the price. I can work with it on and it really helped with healing. Huge reduction in pain level.

Finally. I've had custom made thick casts made for my CMC joint for 10 years @ $200+ each, every other year by the top hand surgeon in my city. This little gem (referred to me by my cast maker at the hand center) will cancel all future orders of the custom made one because I'm using this PUSH brace forever. My CMC joint is not just sore or weak, it's actually dislocated (from a sports injury and now arthritic) and this brace is my new thumb! In fact, it let's me use my thumb again instead of immobilizing it in a big ugly thing (which doctor ordered for night time and activities). So it's getting exercise! See your doctor or therapist, but I do have some suggestions. The small #1 size fits my joint like a glove and keeps it very stable. However, I wear it 23/7 (for 2 months now). Looks plastic but seems bulletproof lol. Shower in it!! Very important & maybe merchant can offer options. Since I wear it so much, even with a thin layer of foam bandage under it, I've developed a nasty, "grade 2" pressure ulcer under it right where outside of bone hits it. Now lining it with cosmetic foam pads (feels sooo good) and got some cast liner on the way. So be warned! Remove every so often to wiggle and keep thumb elastic. I've just ordered a larger size so i can put all this foam inside it like a cast so might consider that. For us long-termers - the worst spot is the web tween thumb and forefinger. REALLY needs foam there. Foam doesn't wash well so maybe merchant can sell custom cut pieces that fit this brace!! If you only need it part-time, it's very comfy on it's own - just don't pull it too tight - but needs to be tight enough to stabilize the CMC joint. 80% of my daily pain is GONE and the severe pain from my bone spur on the top of my hand near my thumb is 100% gone. Highly recommend this brand PUSH over similar ones. Good Luck.. and THANK YOU, PUSH!!! (Yeah, yeah, I'll get the surgery one day, got good reasons right now to wait til I can't use it anymore at all) :) Happy Patient.

I was skeptical given the price versus other similar braces. I ordered a couple different brands and decided to keep this one. It is nicer than the others. The plastic does rub/cut into places on my hand but I solved this using scar tape to give some padding. I originally ordered an extra small based on measurements, I was on the upper end of the extra small. In the end I ordered a small and kept it. The thumb portion on the extra small was a little small on me. If you are on the upper end of the measurement I would size up. Definitely helps with the pain by limiting movement of the thumb without restricting using my hand.

First Amazon review here… this brace saved my life. I’m a kindergarten teacher and I need my hands. I needed CMC joint replacement and was able to hold off until summer because of this brace. I would have 10/20 pain without it, but with it I had 0/10 as long as I wore it all day every day. I just had CMC arthoplasty surgery 2 weeks ago, and ordered this brace for my left hand, which is now giving me problems with pain too. I’m confident it’ll get me through until I’m ready for the same surgery on my other hand. There is a small hole in the brace that bothered my skin so I put a piece of tape over it. Easy fix. I would also put solid white deodorant on my hand every morning because it smelled like feet when I took it off sometimes.

My brace arrived quickly & was exactly as recommended by my doctor. It is comfortable to wear & provides great support for my thumb.

Good fit. It is a little bit uncomfortable in the beginning, but soon you get used to it. It does help my hand to relax.

I purchased this brace in February. Within 4 months the velcro had deteriorated such that it would come loose. The brace did help but I should get more than 4 months out of it for this cost!
