Crossy Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I need a wrist-brace, where to get without going to the doc? Should be simple (famous last words). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Lazada sells from local supplies so expect any of the hospital equipment type places should have (wheelchair shops). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 Don't panic guys, it's RSI/carpal tunnel due to too much mouse activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaiLai Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I just ordered this off Lazada to imobilize my thumb, 1500 baht. Most pharmacy's only have elastic 'sleeves' that do very little for support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you have tried using a wireless ergonomic mouse like the Logitech MX Master 2S? They really are good. Earlier this year I was working with a Norwegian engineer who suffered from a similar problem, and he was using a fancy vertical wireless ergonomic mouse but I have not seen any in Thailand. I tried it out... and I must say that the less hand rotation when using the vertical mouse resulted in significantly less muscle strain. Might be worth researching and sourcing from an overseas supplier? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most pharmacies carry them, easy to find Lazada also has them Worn at night they do help but in my experience most people end up needing surgery.

Crossy Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 I don't seem to get on with the "ergonomic" rodents, I think my paws are the wrong shape (I have very long fingers). @Sheryl I'm really trying to avoid having surgery if at all possible, it's only really flared up badly over the last week or so. Hopefully getting a bit of support will fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 NSAIDs also help if you have no contraundications to them A steroid injection intio the CT space will give considerable relief but it may flare back up again when it wears off after a few months.

I did. They might help for a short time. The next step is cortisone injections; however, most doctors will only give two or three before saying enough, because cortisone damages the nerve tissue. I've had the surgery on both hands. Be quiet Colin. Twenty years ago. The good news is as long as the rehab after the operation is done conscientiously, carpal tunnel won't trouble you again.

blackcab Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 https://www.goldtouch.com/mouse-sizing-guide/ If you enter your hand size in the box some quite fancy mice are displayed. Perhaps a starting point that might lead you onto product reviews, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those mice will make you go blind... I tried one of these and liked it so much that I bought one for each of the employees in my group at work. Made a huge difference in my shoulder pain. Not sure about wrist pain. They have the same design in wireless for a few baht more. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/the-honest-store-vertical-mouse-ergonomic-mouse-vtm202-ai-i140616117-s161520013.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 Sorted thanks everyone. Boots in Central Lat Phrao, more by luck than judgement as mall directories seem to be a thing of the past, I couldn't make head or tail of the online version. Some interesting ideas on rodents as well, thanks, I'll be looking into them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
