I can't really rest my hand from life, which seems to be what's annoying it. I can plainly see that completely rigid braces will make the problem worse - partly by spreading it around. That's why I want braces that allow function.

Everyone's different but from my experience...

When I had thumb tendonitis the physiotherapist suggested I wear a thumb brace and rest my thumb (no lacemaking etc). The thumb got worse and I ended up with a trigger thumb.

Only when I gave up wearing the brace did my thumb start to improve! The trigger thumb went away and although the thumb still aches a bit at times it is much, much better. I do make an effort to rest it when it gets sore as I think that's the real answer.
