Re: finger splints

[Guest guest]

Hi Leanne,

It's the Silver Ring Splint Co. Usually a hand therapist has to acquire a

kit from them and you need a script for it to fitted to your finger. I checked

into this last year. You can google them for further information. My

rheumy also recommended just going out and buying a regular finger splint to

help

with finger pain. I found these great kits in CVS that come with extra piece

you can make hot or cold for your finger, fairly inexpensive around $5.00 I

believe they were. Hope this helps you.

I bought the copper bracelets and rings.

It is my personal opinion that they conducted heat away from the inflamation.

It was a plesant temporary relief.

However the pain of having anything on my fingers or wrists was not worth the

cooling effect.

They are readily available in many stores, tourist venues etc and quite

inexpensive.
