Yesterday, I showed how I use a lot of clips to sew a laser curtain, and I think I damaged my thumb from that particular repetitive movement. This happened a couple of years ago. I went to my doctor first and she referred me to a hand therapist who specialized in treating this kind of case. It got better in several month.
During the time I was healing, I had to wear a thumb splint. The thumb splint I bought at a store was too big for my hand. More precisely, I think my thumb was too short for the width of my hand. The thumb splint wrapped around my hand just fine, but the thumb got away from the restraint.
So, I had to make myself a couple of thumb splint that fit my hand and thumb. The bonus is that I could use some remnant fabrics I liked. They are 100 % cotton, too, so they felt comfortable, too. (I am not fond of the feeling of polyester and nylons... The part that wrapped around the thumb was made of nylon webbing, but I had a layer of cotton under it.

Yup, these clips below... Who knew that they can cause such inflammation in my thumb joints?
