Yes, all the time now. With age my arthritice has spread into my left wrist. I really can’t say if it was because of playing guitars for over fifty years(I am a hack) or flipping sauté pans for thirty five years. I’ll never know. But wearing this mini wrist brace(this one just happens to be from Copper Compression) let’s me play for hours again, pain free. I was at the point I couldn’t play for more than fifteen minutes. The cut is perfect for a guitar player, even with stubby sausage fingers like mine!

Like the old boy on the left, not the fancy upstart on the right playing one of those posh barre chord thingies. And I hang off the door frame by my fingertips when I finish practicing. Both arms straight over my head and I sink down to take weight onto my fingers and stretch the wrists and arms. And just rock in the doorway. Wrist problems are often "upstream". I can feel a really tender band of muscle in the side of my neck if my wrist hurts, so trying to release that really helps too.

Classical posture. To a certain extent, sweat bands might help "force" you to keep your wrists straight. They also come in handy if you're playing under hot lights.

Patient: It hurts when I do this.
Doctor: Don't do that. |

I've got a couple of these. They support the wrist, but also the thumb -- my thumbs are, like, worn out....

Guitarists usually play with technique like this until there's significant damage done.
