A member asked:
I actually know i have osteoarthritis in my thumb. my question is; can or should i be wearing any kind of brace to help both the painful joint and the occasional popping of the joint that occurs?

Osteoarthritis: You CAN wear a brace if this provides some relief and feels good. It will provide stability which may also feel good to you.
