The Most Reviewer-Endorsed Items On Amazon To Get Rid Of All Your Aches And Pains

Everyday aches and pains will come for us all eventually, be it in the form of shoulder pain, lower back stiffness or more chronic conditions like arthritis and plantar fasciitis. But effective pain relief is readily available at Amazon and thoroughly endorsed by the likes of many. Pain sufferers have approved of the upcoming selection of concentrated creams, physical therapist-recommended stretchers, percussive massagers, pillows and plenty more — all of which you can shop ahead. Amazon The Penetrex recovery cream is possibly one of the most impressively reviewed pain-relief topicals on Amazon that features a concentrated blend of natural ingredients. It's a non-greasy and sensitive skin-friendly formula containing arnica and vitamin B6 to soothe sore and achy muscles without the burning or freezing sensation of other numbing creams. Promising review: "Penetrex works for me. I have tried many different pain relieving creams and really believed a topical cream could not eliminate pain. Some products have a lot of Menthol that distracts from the pain for a while. I broke my wrist in 2015 and have 10 metal pins in my wrist. My hand, as well as my wrist, are frequently painful. I think some arthritis is developing. I am so thankful to have found Penetrex. When my hand or wrist starts hurting, I rub in a small amount of Penetrex and the pain goes away. I have not timed how long it takes. I just know if I want the pain to stop, I use Penetrex and not long after, I realize the pain is gone. I keep a jar at home and at work. I will not be without it, so I hope the company stays around for a very long time. Penetrex is not sticky or greasy, it rubs in completely like a hand cream or lotion. It has a mild fragrance, not a strong odor like some sports creams. I was introduced to electrode therapy and ultrasound during my physical therapy sessions for my wrist. I purchased both for home use. Penetrex works better than either of those therapies. I recommend you try it. It may not work the same for everyone and every type of pain, but it is worth a try." — Rita Berry $17 at Amazon Medi-Dyne Whether your heel pain stems from plantar fasciitis, poor shoe support, over-pronation or other foot conditions, this stretchy compressive brace is meant to provide immediate pain relief by creating targeted arch support. It's a unique design that's helped reviewers with chronic foot pain after other conventional market options had failed. It can be worn with or without shoes and is available in six sizes. Promising review: "Cue the Rihanna song 'where have you been all my lifeeeee'! I suffered from plantar fasciitis for years!!! I have wasted so much money on generic insole, (expensive!!!) custom insoles, physical therapy tape, laser treatments, massage, compression socks, gel heel cups, other similar foot devices similar to this one with no avail. I was beginning to lose hope and assumed I would just have to live with the pain.... then came this incredible device!!! I did gymnastics for ten years, which no doubt either caused or greatly contributed to my plantar fasciitis. I was so excited to hear that this product was developed by a gymnastics coach. They know exactly how we need to be taped in order to get the correct support.I used to fatigue very easily throughout the day without these. Now I stand at my standing desk for ~9 hours per day (I also stand on a cushy mat), but I could never have done that before this product. I am extremely grateful to the creators of this product that I can live an active pain-free life with the help of this device. If you feel like you have tried everything for your foot pain, do yourself a favor and try this one - it will be the last thing you try because IT ACTUALLY WORKS!I will never be without these, I almost feel like I need to buy some backup pairs just in case anything happens to these! I would recommend sizing up and do not sleep these." — Tim $32 at Medi-Dyne $32 at Amazon Amazon Available in five sizes, the Chrip foam roller is a physical therapy device designed with trigger points to break up tight muscle fibers. It's covered in a high-density foam and can withstand up to 500 pounds as you roll back and forth over the surface to help release the fascia that supports the back. If you have difficulty getting on the ground, it can also be used on the wall to provide the same kind of tension relief. Promising review: "I've been going to a chiropractor for over 20 years, but purchasing the Chirp Back Wheel has been a total game-changer for me. Since I started using it, my back mobility has improved dramatically, and my pain has decreased by what feels like 500%! I honestly wish I had bought this sooner.I use it every single day, and it's the best tool I've found for stretching out my spine. Sometimes I even get those satisfying pops, just like at the chiropractor, which gives me instant relief. The design makes it easy and comfortable to roll out tight muscles and release you struggle with back pain or stiffness, I can't recommend this enough. It's hands down the greatest investment I've made for my health and full transparency, I am a real customer who purchased this product, and this review is based solely on my personal experience. I am not being paid or sponsored in any way." — Jen Sipich $42 at Amazon Amazon Made of soft yet dense memory foam, the Contour Legacy leg pillow is designed to adjust to the shape of the leg to help promote better alignment and eliminate pressure on the hips and lower back, especially for side sleepers. It has an ideal crescent structure that allows you to bend your knees freely in multiple sleep positions. Promising review: "Removed leg pain. I have suffered for years trying to sleep with a broken back and sore knees until I bought this incredible leg pillow which has completely revolutionized my sleep in the most wonderful way. No longer do I suffer while climbing stairs or experience enormous pain during simple walks. I fully recommend this product as a 69 year old." — Kent L. $33 at Amazon Amazon These Plackers disposable night guards can be particularly helpful for anyone who grinds their teeth at night or experiences conditions like TMJ. BPA-free and suitable to wear on the upper or lower teeth, these guards have a patented design that absorbs pressure and prevents you from grinding your teeth so you wake up with less jaw pain and facial tension. Each of these guards can be used up to three times before replacing. Promising review: "I already have a professionally made hard night guard for my upper teeth. However, I would still wake up with a sore jaw, my teeth would hurt and I broke three crowns within ten years. I would mention to my dentist that I needed a lower jaw night guests as well but they would say no.I bought these so I wear it in addition to the other night guard. They are not as secure as a professionally made one but it stays in mouth all night. I actually like that it's spongy and easy to use right out of the package. Since wearing them, I wake up with no pain in my jaw and less tension. They are exactly what I needed." – Jwow 10-pack: $16 at Amazon Amazon According to one reviewer, this odd-shaped pillow made their shoulder pain "disappear completely" using a stretching technique called cervical traction, which involves gently creating space between the bones of the neck. The pillow is made from a dense foam and strategically follows the natural curvature of the spine to ease pain in as little as 10 minutes a day. Promising review: "So here's a backstory, I have a pinched nerve and I am an artist who uses their hands A LOT. It causes me a lot of pain in my right hand, which causes my arm to go numb at night and aches all through the night. It stems from my shoulder and for the last several days I've been in a ton of pain, unable to sleep. I bought this on a whim with the hope for some relief in my neck and shoulder. As soon as it arrived I opened it and used it for less than a minute. That 45 seconds I was on it made my shoulder pain disappear completely. I was shocked.. but so happy to finally have this relief. Let me be clear, my back and shoulder is messed up from several things.. and it hurt because of the tension I've kept when I used this product. But it was the kind of pain you would get from a deep tissue massage or something like that. I've continued use through the day, using around 1-2 minutes total. No pain, no aches, my neck feels less tense and my shoulder pain is completely gone. I will continue using it daily! Highly recommended" — Z $15 at Amazon Amazon If frequent commuting or a stagnant lifestyle is causing you pain, this highly rated seat cushion — which has close to 90,800 5-star ratings — can help. Made from a responsive and dense memory foam, this ergonomic cushion can provide support, improve posture and address pain in the legs, hips, tailbone and back. Promising review: "BEST. THING. EVER. I work on the computer for a living sometimes going 2-3 hours without much movement (video calls). It used to be that I'd get up after a back-to-back-to-back sesh and from the middle of my back to the top of my tailbone would be a stinging and sharp pain for 10-15 seconds. I had a client recommend this to me. I don't know what voodoo or magic this thing does, but I'll get up from one of those same back-to-back-to-back sessions and won't feel a thing in my lower back. The tailbone + back support you get with this thing is - after 4-5 minutes you don't even really notice/feel that it's there. It's not cumbersome or odd-feeling, and it definitely isn't a distraction." — Ryan $44 at Amazon Medi-Dyne Dr. Gary Evans, a podiatrist and board-certified foot surgeon, previously told HuffPost that toe spacers and stretchers can alleviate bunion-related pain, swelling and inflammation by temporarily realigning toes, reducing pressure on joints and stretching the connective tendons. The Tuli's Soft Move toe stretchers promise to do all of the above, and come with reviewer claims of immediate relief. Made from soft silicone gel, this particular design is adjustable for a customizable stretch and features an ergonomic V-shape that mimics the toes. Promising review: "I had surgery on my toes a few years ago, which resulted in my right metatarsals not sitting right. They feel bunched, like there isn't enough room in my skin for them.I put these little toe stretchers on, and for the first time in YEARS, my metatarsals sat flat. I could only handle them for 10-15 min at a first, because my muscles are sooooo tight in my feet. But the relief is immediate, and it lasts for 15 is min after I take them off. Just like all kinds of PT type things, I know it'll take time. But finally, something to help realign that weird bunching feeling in my feet. I f***ing LOVE these." — CC $20 at Medi-Dyne $20 at Amazon Amazon The Magic Gel pad holds a removable gel pack, which can be frozen or microwaved and worn in a variety of ways to target pain. The bulk-free gel packs use a very thick viscosity gel that manages to stay flexible, even when frozen, so it easily conforms around the contours of the body to offer the best contact and temperature relief possible. The unique gel takes as little as one and a half hours to freeze and retains cold for up to 20 minutes of pain relief, though reviewers claim that it lasts for much longer. Other reviewers appreciate the slight compression factor that this pad provides. Promising review: "Absolutely the best purchase I have made in a long time! I had hip surgery a few weeks back and have had lower back pain for years. I have often tried to tuck an ice pack behind me in my chair or tie it around my waist. This ice belt is The best! It fits perfectly and will adjust to fit most. The ice is very cold, which I love! It stays cold much longer than the 20 minutes you are supposed to leave it on…. If you have pain, do yourself a favor and buy this product! It is magical!' — nik $25 at Amazon Amazon The idea behind compression gloves is that they can improve circulation, reduce swelling and restrict the build-up of excess fluid, which may cause aching and soreness in joints. These fingerless and machine-washable gloves are infused with copper the company claims will reduce inflammation, however, the evidence supporting that particular claim is limited. Promising reviews: "Life changing. I wear these gloves every night and they have helped tremendously with the pain in my hands. They do not compress too much, are very lightweight and I can even wear them when I'm typing. I'm ordering a second pair soon so I'm never without them!" — Rosa "In the past several months, I have had severe swelling in my feet, arms and knees. Because of a diagnosis of arthritis, I purchased these to help me sleep and they have completely worked. I used to wake up throughout the night in pain from my fingers and in the morning, they were extremely painful. Once I started wearing these at night, I slept through the night and my hands worked and felt great in the morning. I had tried other brands of gloves which didn't help as much and were hot to wear (I live in the south where it gets rather warm). These are thin and NOT hot to wear. I would definitely recommend trying them. I've always worn medium gloves but I had to get a Large in these. I'm sure it's because of the swelling." — CDW $25 at Amazon Amazon These highly-rated insoles use a high arch and deep heel cup to offer support and maintain correct foot positioning so that the heel is better protected from impact, a common issue with chronic foot conditions like plantar fascitis. The inserts are available in both men's and women's sizing. Check the product page for additional coupons and promo codes for up to 5% off. Promising review: "I have flat feet and have always struggled to find comfortable shoes. I often relied on thick-soled running shoes because they were the only options with enough arch support to make extended standing and walking bearable. For the first time, a pair of shoes I really liked had worn-out insoles, so I needed replacements. I found these highly rated on Amazon and decided to give them a try. Using them for the first time was life-changing. I had never experienced such comfort and support before, and I realized that my lifelong issue was unsupportive insoles. I used to suffer from severe foot pain whenever I wore flat-soled sneakers or dress shoes for any length of time. Now, I've bought a set of these insoles for every pair of shoes I own, and they're all incredibly comfortable—I can stand and walk in them for hours! I can't imagine wearing a pair of shoes without these insoles and when the time comes to get new shoes, I'll surely be swapping these in immediately!" — Dayv B $20 at Amazon Amazon This mat and pillow set may seem intimidating, however an overwhelming number of reviewers swear by this accupressure tool to provide pain relief. Its cushioned surface is covered with over 10,000 hard plastic spikes that, though, are not a complete substitute for acupuncture, are meant to improve circulation and help relax muscles. The mat is available in both large (about 16 by 26 inches) and extra large (about 19 by 51 inches) sizes. Promising review: "I cannot express enough how much I am in love with this accupressure mat!!!! Yes, it hurts at first for the first few minutes.... but chances are you got this because you have pain not grimace for another few minutes to experience the relaxing, pain relieving result while you lay on it and after!! My friend recommended this to me because of my horrible back pains and back diagnoses. I had no clue what I was in for. I did almost want to give up when first laying on it because it does really hurt at first, but then my minute 2-4, it just kinda becomes warm and relaxing. Last time my back went out, it was for 3 months. I was basically bed-ridden. I wish I had had this mat back then. However, since then, I have had those moments where I felt like it was going to go out, I put on a full body meditation channel on youtube, relax myself, lay on the mat for all of 10 minutes (you can go longer), and I am back to feeling better and pain free. It is my understanding you will gain even greater health benefits if you can make this part of your daily routine, but I can vouch how incredible it is even if you just do it when needed because of an onset of pain. Please, do yourself a favor and get this. Research though, there are different levels and and numbers of spikes. I bought a different kind with a less spikey feel, and I will occasionally use that one for the lower half of my body, because for my pain relief I have learned I need the extra spikey feel to get down to my nerves, tissues and muscles I guess. Neck pillow on this one is too much for my neck, but I learned you can put a thin cloth, like slide a thin pillowcase over it and then I am able to use the neck pillow. Love love love this... it has saved me on multiple occasions!!!!" — Storm $19 at Amazon Amazon An orthopedic surgeon previously told HuffPost that the theory behind TENS units is that they stimulate the superficial nerves in the body that exhaust some of the pain fibers that typically cause discomfort around a joint. This model is relatively affordable, has over 81,450 5-star Amazon ratings and features five therapy modes of custom stimulation. The attachments can adhere to areas like the wrists, hand and between fingers to help with conditions like carpal tunnel and arthritis. Promising review: "This has been a lifesaver for nerve pain! This thing is a game changer. I got it for lower back and neck pain, and it's helped more than I expected—especially after long workdays or workouts. It takes a minute to figure out the settings, but once you get the hang of it, it's super customizable. The pulses are strong (in a good way), and it comes with everything you need. For the price, it's basically like having a physical therapist at home." — Pmb $40 at Amazon Amazon Podiatrist Louis J. DeCaropreviously told HuffPost that when it comes to managing plantar fasciitis pain, "the best a [person] can really do is stretch the posterior column which runs from the hamstring down to the calf, to the Achilles and through the bottom of the foot to connect to the plantar fascia." DeCaro teaches his patients heel inversion stretches, which he said should be done "prior to all activities that involve running or long walks and should be done with the foot as neutral as possible." Although you don't need a device for the heel inversion or posterior column stretches that DeCaro refers to, many Amazon reviewers claim that this rocking foot stretcher has made "a world of difference" in treating their plantar fasciitis pain. The rocker design holds the foot in the optimal position for an accurate and efficient stretch and has slip-resistant pads to keep the stretcher in place while in use. Promising review: "I recently developed plantar fasciitis and it was causing me all kinds of pain in my knee, heel and ankle. Using this device before and after my runs made a world of difference. [The] pain is subsiding and I'm able to continue training. Such a great device for a hard-to-stretch area - highly recommend.' — Bels $23 at Amazon $24 at Medi-Dyne Amazon The brand refers to this device as a "comprehensive stretch solution" that can be used in several ways to safely stretch key areas like the hamstrings, hips and lower back. Lightweight, portable and made with a durable steel frame, regular use of this stretcher may alleviate sciatica pain and reduce muscle stiffness. One reviewer even claimed it helped them recover from knee surgery. Promising review: "This device was recommended by my physical therapist. It is worth every penny! I have problem arthritic knees. A gentle one minute stretch 2 or 3 times a day has already improved my knee mobility. I highly recommend it. Probably best to check with an MD or PT first to be sure it is appropriate for your issue." — carol $70 at Amazon Amazon Heat can do amazing things for easing tension and pain and this extra-large heating pad is ideal for targeting large swaths of your body that might be experiencing discomfort or soreness. Covered in an extra soft plush cover, you can choose between three heat levels and have peace of mind thanks to the two-hour shut-off function. It's also machine washable and has a 10-foot long cord. Promising review: "My husband tweaked his back while working in the yard. We have a little heating pad, but purchased this one due to the XL size. My husband is over 6' and having this larger size allowed for this heating pad to mostly cover his whole back. The cord is long enough that he can use it anywhere in the house. The heat is evenly distributed and consistent. The safety shutoff is nice for evening uses so you can use it at bedtime without the worry of any burns or skin damage. This is also a good size to wrap a leg and would be good for any chin splints, sports injuries, and knee pain. My husband also uses this for his torn meniscus flare-ups (from a high school FB injury that was never surgically fixed) and says it really helps to manage the pain. Huge plus, this cover is dark and easy to wash!" — Sara $40 at Amazon Amazon This classic soaking solution by Dr. Teal's can help ease aches and soreness using Epsom salt, which breaks down into magnesium — a mineral that can be absorbed into the skin to relax muscles, reduce swelling and offer pain relief. This particular formula also contains a therapeutic blend of eucalyptus and spearmint essential oils to promote even more soothing power. Promising review: "I have been using Epsom salts bath soaks for years to relieve my aches and pains after a day spent working. But I like this best for occasional foot soaks which immediately relieve cramping of my feet and or lower legs. I love the strong scent as well which is truly relaxing. My favorite scent is the lavender but eucalyptus is great if you have a head cold as the scent will open your sinuses as you soak. My only complaint is that this product is getting so much more expensive these days. Otherwise I really love this product!" — Cheryl R. $6 at Amazon Amazon Many people swear by massage guns to improve circulation and manage muscle pain at home and this particular model by Renpho also incorporates the power of heat (or cold) therapy. It promises a strong percussive massage in a variety of intensities, four adjustable temperature settings and five different attachments. Promising review: "I have chronic pain and this massage gun is by far the BEST one I've ever owned! The cooling and heated head is life changing along with the other heads. It has great power and when connected to the app it'll cycle the power in auto mode. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this massage gun to everyone!!" — Bill L. $100 at Amazon (regularly $130) Amazon Reviewers Love This $24 'Foot Stretcher' To Relieve All Kinds Of Pain This Calf Stretcher Is Used By Physical Therapists, And Reviewers Swear By It For Pain Relief If You Have Arthritis, Doctors Say These Products Can Help Ease Pain

15 Miracle Products From Amazon That Reviewers Say Helped Their Hand And Wrist Pain

No matter the culprit, be it tendonitis, carpal tunnel or arthritis, hand and wrist pain can majorly impede your daily life. While it's always a good idea to address the root cause of your condition with a medical professional, that doesn't mean you shouldn't find something to alleviate the pain in the meantime or invest in things that can prevent it from getting worse. It turns out that hand and wrist pain is a common ailment negatively affecting tons of people, many of whom have taken to the reviews section of Amazon to find and share their solutions with others. Based on these promising words, we created the upcoming list of Amazon products that include everything from ergonomic keyboards to freezable therapy mits to supportive braces and much more. As always, talk to your doctor about treatment options as well. HuffPost and its publishing partners may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Every item is independently selected by the HuffPost Shopping team. Prices and availability are subject to change. The experts consulted for this story do not necessarily endorse the products ahead unless otherwise noted. Amazon The Penetrex recovery cream is possibly one of the most impressively reviewed pain-relief topicals on Amazon that features a concentrated blend of natural ingredients. It's a non-greasy and sensitive skin-friendly formula containing arnica and vitamin B6 to soothe sore and achy muscles without the burning or freezing sensation of other numbing creams. Promising Amazon review: "Penetrex works for me. I have tried many different pain relieving creams and really believed a topical cream could not eliminate pain. Some products have a lot of Menthol that distracts from the pain for a while. I broke my wrist in 2015 and have 10 metal pins in my wrist. My hand, as well as my wrist, are frequently painful. I think some arthritis is developing. I am so thankful to have found Penetrex. When my hand or wrist starts hurting, I rub in a small amount of Penetrex and the pain goes away. I have not timed how long it takes. I just know if I want the pain to stop, I use Penetrex and not long after, I realize the pain is gone. I keep a jar at home and at work. I will not be without it, so I hope the company stays around for a very long time. Penetrex is not sticky or greasy, it rubs in completely like a hand cream or lotion. It has a mild fragrance, not a strong odor like some sports creams. I was introduced to electrode therapy and ultrasound during my physical therapy sessions for my wrist. I purchased both for home use. Penetrex works better than either of those therapies. I recommend you try it. It may not work the same for everyone and every type of pain, but it is worth a try." — Rita Berry $17 at Amazon Amazon An orthopedic surgeon previously told HuffPost that the theory behind TENS units is that they stimulate the superficial nerves in the body that exhaust some of the pain fibers that typically cause discomfort around a joint. This model is relatively affordable, has over 81,450 5-star Amazon ratings and features five therapy modes of custom stimulation. The attachments can adhere to areas like the wrists, hand and between fingers to help with conditions like carpal tunnel and arthritis. Promising Amazon review: "Has helped my carpal tunnel! I've read both the good and the bad reviews and this is one of those things that you must try out for yourself and make your own decision of whether or not it works for 'you.' So far, it has worked for me. My carpal tunnel pain has been slowly resurfacing by simply using my cell phone and cooking. I love to write especially Calligraphy but haven't done so due to sharp needle-stabbing pain on my lower hand and wrist. I decided to give this a try since my therapist would set me up with one of these at their office. So far, it's provided relief. I'm not one to ingest pain medication (or any drug for that matter). It is primarily for that reason why I decided to give this a try. I recommend you read up on your particular symptoms prior to making this purchase. You can also take advantage of Amazon's extraordinary service and 'try it out.' You have nothing to loose. If anything you might find relief and we can all attest that living pain-free is the best way to live." — E from Cali $37 at Amazon Amazon The idea behind compression gloves is that they can improve circulation, reduce swelling and restrict the build-up of excess fluid, which may cause aching and soreness in joints. These fingerless and machine-washable gloves are infused with copper the company claims will reduce inflammation, however, the evidence supporting that particular claim is limited. Promising Amazon reviews: "Life changing. I wear these gloves every night and they have helped tremendously with the pain in my hands. They do not compress too much, are very lightweight and I can even wear them when I'm typing. I'm ordering a second pair soon so I'm never without them!" — Rosa "In the past several months, I have had severe swelling in my feet, arms and knees. Because of a diagnosis of arthritis, I purchased these to help me sleep and they have completely worked. I used to wake up throughout the night in pain from my fingers and in the morning, they were extremely painful. Once I started wearing these at night, I slept through the night and my hands worked and felt great in the morning. I had tried other brands of gloves which didn't help as much and were hot to wear (I live in the south where it gets rather warm). These are thin and NOT hot to wear. I would definitely recommend trying them. I've always worn medium gloves but I had to get a Large in these. I'm sure it's because of the swelling." — CDW $23 at Amazon Amazon This cordless hand and wrist massager claims to combine heat with air compression and shiatsu-style kneading to relieve soreness, stiffness, numbness and joint pain. You can choose between six heat settings up to a soothing 107 degrees and five massage modes, including a gentle acupressure therapy mode. Promising Amazon review: "This Lunix LX3 hand massager is a lifesaver! I suffer from hand pain, and this massager provides incredible relief. It's surprisingly strong and really gets deep into the muscles and joints. The heat and compression features add to the therapeutic experience. It's truly the perfect hand massager, and I highly recommend it to anyone with hand pain or just looking for a relaxing hand massage" — ChrisChan $140 at Amazon Amazon Voltaren gel is a topical anti-inflammatory that can be applied to affected joints and doesn't require a prescription. According to a rheumatologist who previously spoke with HuffPost, Voltaren can be a good option for patients who otherwise have a contraindication to systemic anti-inflammatories since only 15% of its active ingredients get absorbed systemically. The non-steroidal and hydrating gel imparts a cooling sensation when applied and can help reduce stiffness and aches and improve mobility. Promising Amazon review: "I suffer from stiff fingers & wrists and this wonderful product really helps! The first plus, the company has put a larger screw-off cap for ease in removing the tube for those of us who have arthritis pain and find those little caps are difficult to hold on to. Second, it is not creasy and dries completely with just a few rubs. I put it on like hand lotion and it rubs right in. Third, I'd say within 15 to 20 minutes I start to feel relief in my hands and it will last a full day. Fourth, there is no strong order that lingers. I've tried lots of things that get hot, or cold and make you smell like a medicine cabinet but they don't relieve the burning and aching in my hands & wrists. Highly recommended and I will purchase again!!" — Grandma J Value 2-pack: $28 at Amazon Single-tube: $18 at Amazon Amazon Instead of moving your entire wrist and thumb to control this wireless mouse, the ergonomic design allows full control of your cursor only using this smooth-rolling trackball to reduce muscle strain. The trackball and contours of the mouse keep hands and fingers in a natural position, while the brand promises exceptional accuracy of cursor movement, without any lagging. Promising Amazon review: "I had a Kensington trackball back in the day, that was about the size of a billiard ball. This is a modern take on that idea, and I'm glad I'm back to having a trackball. I'd been experiencing some wrist pain, and my old mouse was also starting to have sporadic issues, so I started looking for an alternative. I decided to try this wireless trackball with my iMac using Bluetooth, and it's been a good change. I also got a silicone mouse pad with a wrist rest to keep my wrist at the right height. I like the thumb control ball, and where the buttons are located. The angle is good with my hand on the mouse. I've only had to charge it one time so far, it lasts for a long time on a charge. There are also some good color choices for the trackball, I really like the burnt orange color. All in all, I'm really happy with this trackball, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one. Recommended." — K Smith $33+ at Amazon Amazon Speaking of ergonomic mice, this mousepad has an ergonomic wrist rest filled with a soft gel to keep the wrist elevated, and supported and prevent repetitive motions that can lead to conditions like carpal tunnel. The rest of the mouse pad's surface Is made with a smooth Lycra fabric so mice roll seamlessly over the surface. Check the product page for additional coupons and promo codes. Promising Amazon review: "I was having a lot of hand and wrist pain after being on the computer all day for work. As soon as I started using this it started to go away and the pain is completely gone now! Great product." — akart $10 at Amazon Amazon A few notable design features of this keyboard make it ergonomic and potentially pain-relieving, according to the over 8,200 reviewers who gave it five stars. It has a split keyset and an integrated wrist rest, which help keep hands and arms in a neutral position and minimize repetitive stress. It wirelessly connects to your monitor of choice either through Bluetooth or using your Wi-Fi. Promising Amazon review: "Since I started working from home I was using a base model keyboard that was provided with the computer. I noticed that my hands were a bit closer while typing and were angled a bit oddly. After a while, my hands developed the initial pains of Carpal Tunnel. I remembered the keyboard I had at the office was a split keyboard but had not realized how expensive that one was. I figured that I could purchase this one to see if that would help. It did. Within a month of using the nerves in my wrist no longer are pinched and I haven't suffered any more numbing tingling sensation in a long time. The arrows and the other keys above them do take a bit to get used to since they have a slightly different configuration but once you get used to them a great purchase."— A. Borunda $80 at Amazon Amazon This physical therapy-inspired set is aimed and strengthening weakened hands and wrists to reduce pain. Reviewers claim that consistently using these tools has helped reduce pain related to carpal tunnel, tendentious and overuse. The set includes two different gadgets in three different resistances that allow for a variety of strengthening exercises. Check the product page for additional coupons and promo codes. Promising Amazon reviews: "Works very well for tendonitis and wrist pain. I bought these items because my chiropractor recommended them due to my left hand suffering tendonitis due to rowing while my right hand suffered wrist pain from typing. I used them daily to strengthen both my hands and at first it was hurting the muscles. However, as I am slowly healing my grip started getting stronger as well. Moving forward and I am now in my 4th month of being treated along with every 2 weeks seeing a Chiropractor, I did not stop using these small gadgets for muscle strengthening. In my works." — Rockit Mobile LLC "Really helped my hand heal after a boxer's fracture. It has also lessened my carpal tunnel pain. Highly recommend for people with hand or wrist pain/injuries." — A Guy from New York City $8 at Amazon Amazon The Rolflex rolling massager tool provides myofascial-release massage on areas like the hands, wrists and forearm — without the need for a professional masseuse or anyone else for that matter. Its clamp-style design and adjustable compression work to target key pressure points and promote circulation. Promising Amazon review: "I just received my new roller an hour ago and had to write this review right away because this is the greatest therapy device I have ever used!! I've suffered from severe carpal tunnel and trigger finger for years and after 30 minutes of learning how to use this new roller I am already in less pain/tension. It's incredible the pressure points I can focus on and relieve in my hands, wrists and forearms! I felt the tension relief all the way up my neck and through the back of my shoulders just from massaging my forearms! This product is worth every penny! Quality materials and craftsmanship and I love the rubber disc on the bottom that allows you to position the roller just about anywhere comfortably with no slippage. Great product!!" — Amazon customer $80 at Amazoon Amazon Made by TheraIce, the maker of our beloved headache relief cap, this wrist and hand wrap uses the same combination of cold therapy and compression to reduce pain and swelling. It has a seamless and slip-on design and is filled with a soft gel that can either be frozen or heated. It's available in two sizes, but most reviewers say that it runs small so it might be a good idea to size up. Promising Amazon reviews: "OMG! I just got my TheraICE hand ice packs and they are incredible. I was diagnosed with De Quervain's tenosynovitis a couple of weeks ago and have struggled with regular ice packs. The pain is so uncomfortable and ice packs just don't accommodate your wrist. I just got my delivery today, put them in the freezer for a couple of hours and now have such relief. Wonderful product! Thank you!" — Mary Lee Wiley "Fantastic product. Relieves pain in the best way. Very, very soft and light weight. I have a very small wrist and hand and got the small. It is a pretty stretchy but form fitting like a hug. It is heavenly for my wrist pain and really helps." — Margauxr $12 at Amazon Amazon These fingerless high-cotton fiber gloves promise targeted compression for maximum pain relief. Aside from reducing swelling and soothing joints, many reviewers claim that another benefit of these gloves is that they keep hands warm. Find them in three sizes. Promising Amazon review: "I've had a pair of compression gloves for years, but the seams finally split. I found these new compression gloves to be the perfect replacement. They 'snug up' in all the right places and give relief to my painful arthritic hands. The wrist fit is just right (some gloves gap in this area). I can use the computer, walk the dog, write, and more with the fingertips open. These are well made and flex perfectly. Absolutely great!" — Gold Girl $16 at Amazon Amazon Soft, plush and oh so soothing, these microwavable therapy mits completely envelop hands to deliver the paid-reducing wonders heat. Each one is filled with a blend of millet, flaxseeds and clay beads that retain heat for up to 30 minutes or can be chilled to offer cold therapy. The soft covers are removable and machine-washable. Promising Amazon reviews: "I have rheumatoid arthritis, the disease causes a lot of pain my hands. These mitts are HEAVEN! They heat quickly and hold on the heat for a while. They cover up past my wrist, which was important to me. I can't wait to pop them back in the microwave to recharge that heat." — Divaliciously "Helps with hand pain. Cold does not last as long as warm but both work well to relieve pain and swelling of multiple areas of hand and wrist." — Red Vixen $30 at Amazon Amazon Amazon reviewers of other products intended for pain relief mentioned Mueller wrist braces as a key component in their hand and wrist therapy. It turns out that the supportive design is a highly rated favorite for its ability to reinforce weak or injured wrists and prevent even more straining. The brace is fully adjustable with Velcro and is made from a breathable mesh material. The braces are sold individually, for the left and right hand. Promising Amazon review: "I initially chose this wrist brace when I was having some postpartum joint issues. I was in terrible pain and so I went on Amazon and chose what looked like the best reviewed, least invasive brace, and let's be honest, I chose the one that would show up that night for delivery. I have pretty bad circulation and usually anything that's tight on my arm makes my hand start falling asleep fairly quickly. I wore this brace for around 3 days straight (I only took it off when I needed to get my hands wet) and I never felt like my hand was going to sleep. I was surprised. After 3 days of resting my wrist joint, my wrist felt 98% better and I stopped continuous use. I only had one problem with it. There are some seams on the inside of the brace (pictured) that on occasion would make me feel a little itchy. They didn't bother me too badly, but if you are sensitive to those kind of things, maybe look for something without that issue. I'm really happy with the product and the result it gave. I am glad to have it for potential future use." — Annika R $17 at Amazon Amazon This breathable brace stabilizes the thumb while giving free range of movement to all other digits. It uses velcro straps and comes in three sizes for the best fit possible. Promising Amazon review: "Absolutely the best! For trigger thumb, I have gone through 4 different supports in the past 8 months. None of the supports fully stabilized like this spica support from Solid. Because of poor stabilization from other supports my CMC joint was becoming more inflamed with greatly increased pain. My fifth attempt at obtaining a good support is NUMER ONE: Solid Thumb Spica Splint. Adjustable to a perfect fit, comfortable, pain relief — Finally! Do not look any further! This is it!" — Jeanine Walters $15+ at Amazon 'The Perfect Office Chair For Comfort And Adjustability' Is Under $100 Right This Second If You Have Arthritis, Doctors Say These Products Can Help Ease Pain 12 Kitchens Gadgets That Are Lifesavers For People With Dexterity Limitations
