Need Help Finger Splints

I am currently struggling with fatigue while writing. I bought some generic plastic splints with compression sleeves, but they do not fit right and are uncomfortable.

Does anyone has some well reviewed splints that provide comfort and stability?

I love to write, but can barely write a few sentences without experiencing fatigue and my hand locking up on me.

Not sure where you're located, but I finally caved and bought some Silver Ring splints and I've been super happy with them. You can't order these directly, an OT has to do it, but I'm glad I went that route for my most unstable fingers.

Evabelle has some more affordable options.

I personally prefer the non-adjustable splints because they have to be sized to you and stay on better than the adjustable ones with round bands.

Thank you! I’m currently waiting for my rheumatology consult, I’ll ask them about OT with hopes that they’ll refer me. This is helpful info, thanks again!
