A member asked:
I broke my hand last year and now i get sharp pains whenever i try to write. is there a brace for that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
MAYBE: A brace may help, but the question must be asked- why do you still have pain? One possibility: the bones did not heal properly (called a non-union). A simple xray may help sort out the diagnosis.
