Since I last saw my Occupational therapist my braces have felt tight, and cutting off circulation in the one hand, making them difficult to wear for long periods of time.

They soon fitted me with larger ones, I still personally hate the restricted wrists, but off the nhs I am grateful to get any at all.

These ones are too tight
Next size up, a bit baggy but more room to breathe so to speak

I love walking, camping and such like so these colours given get extremely grubby quickly. So I opt to use cast covers by FunkyCoversUk just to stop velcro from catching in hair, and on clothing as well as protecting the colour.

Not perfect but while I await a surgery date, at least I have better braces. Though I have to say wearing them in nice hot weather isn’t ideal nor pleasant even, but needs must!

Any suggestions for lower profile ones that don’t cover the wrists? As I get a tad claustrophobic in mine at times. I had Orliman ones but they quickly fell apart and were £24.99 each. So any suggestions let me know.
