Sorry to he...Hey Cynthia, thanks for your feedback. Sorry to hear your wrist got worse for a moment. Mine's had good and bad days... and I haven't gotten a cortisone shot yet. <br /><br />Thought I'd also share: I came across this company EXOS that makes waterproof splints with cool graphics: http://www.exosmedical.com/products/long_thumb_spica_boa.html<br /><br />They don't sell directly in stores, so I emailed them and am waiting to hear back on how much they cost and where to get one. <br /><br />That's great with your shaper's son. Anyway, hope we both make a quick recovery. Regardless, I plan to go surfing soon!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08214005145083219472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317481862032788078.post-2596894695901086772012-06-21T05:21:34.008-07:002012-06-21T05:21:34.008-07:00Also, it takes a looong time for the splint to dry...Also, it takes a looong time for the splint to dry, so you might want to pick up a second one.

I think it's supposed to kick in by now, but we'll see. I haven't noticed any pain or discomfort from surfing, although I think the splint's got to be having the same deleterious effect on my paddling efficiency as it does on my swimming stroke. <br /><br />Might as well give it a try, carefully. You can take further inspiration from my shaper's son, who's also surfing with a wrist brace - well enough to win the Bum Rush contest in SC! http://www.trustthebum.com/all/bum-rush-tour-santa-cruz/Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11868824210434785847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317481862032788078.post-58290688343187117212012-06-20T18:11:10.282-07:002012-06-20T18:11:10.282-07:00Hi, I was searching around for waterproof wrist br...Hi, I was searching around for waterproof wrist braces and stumbled upon your surfing blog. I was also recently diagnosed with either de Quervain's tenosynovitis or wrist tendonitis. Up until now, I've held off on surfing... but I've been dying to!<br /><br />So I wanted to check in with you... you mentioned surfing with a splint. Has that continued to work out fine? Hasn't affected recovery or made things worse? Right now, I'm rocking a thumb spica splint and am temped to take it out for a spin. Any thoughts/updates on this much appreciated!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08214005145083219472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317481862032788078.post-61705402861382625612012-06-14T04:46:36.573-07:002012-06-14T04:46:36.573-07:00Hope it's just a small setback, or maybe a cor...Hope it's just a small setback, or maybe a correction!Dr Mad Fishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10274692672575145183noreply@blogger.com
