RE: Weak Hands and Generalized Demands

in OCD3 years ago

How often a day and for how long do you use the bands and how long did it take to feel like they were helping strengthen the hand? My hands have gone down strength wise a lot since the cancer, and I have started to struggle to open containers.

Sort:  

I don't have a routine for it, but I sit at my desk a lot, so I use them in meetings and randomly as I watch something. I can't type with them on though. i have only been using them for about a week or two, and I feel the difference. Perhaps they will help you also.

There are probably many alternatives on Amazon.

Thank you for the info, I think it is something I need to check into, it really really sucks when you have to ask your wife to open something for you. Almost as bad as having to get help to put a coat on or take it off.

Yeah, I can imagine it can suck, especially long term. Good luck and let me know if it helps!

Added to my amazon cart so I don't lose/forget about them. it will be a month or so before I finish my order and get my stuff.
