Re: Wrist, Elbow, Ankle supports with exercise & RA

[Guest guest]

Hi Maggie,

That's a good question. I've often wondered if I could use a back

brace since that's what gives me the most trouble when I'm up and

about. I hope someone has some info on that...........Doreen

Hi Maggi,

I use supports if I have them, especially for weights. If I don't have

any for my elbows/wrists then I support with the other hand. I use a

knee brace sparingly on bad days when I have to walk a lot.

I find that supports can create discomfort as they compress the

swelling so much (mainly a problem with wrist supports) that they can

cause added pain & /or numbness & tingling. So i only wear them to

protect from injury during exercise.
