A member asked:
What can i do for the pain in my hands between thumb and palm to support it during work? does an ace bandage work?

No: An ace wrap is unlikely to provide much help. You need to have the hand evaluated. See an orthopedist.

Minimally: Ace bandage will give it minimal support, but you can try it. If not, there are a variety of thumb based splints that are more rigid that could potentially help.
