What I'm hearing is that wrist braces are the php of solutions to wrist pain: the thing that anyone who doesn't know anything about wrist pain turn to because that's what they've heard of before. Dodged the bullet on that one.
As it turns out I realize that my wrists only started hurting badly the past few weeks -- about the same amount of time it's been since I moved office desks... and wouldn't you know this desk is about an inch, maybe 1.5 inches higher! I think I'll lower my desk, give these stretches a try, and perhaps get a kinesis advantage. I've used one before (only for a few minutes) and I agree that they're very comfortable. Generally my wrists have always hurt / been a little sore (especially in the morning) for the past few years. Thanks to all for answering the question I should have been asking!
