I rested it for three weeks. Then I picked up my needles and lasted nine minutes. This is the first thing that held while I was knitting, not after. I finished the cardigan that sat in the basket since November.
The click when you grip.
The ache at the base
of your thumb.
Hands that give out halfway through. More often than not, it is all the same joint, where the thumb meets the wrist.

Why it hurts
It is one joint.
The joint at the base of your thumb takes the load every time you pinch or grip. Over the years it loosens. Now it shifts a little each time you use it. That shift is the click. A few hundred of them in an evening is the ache.
Hold that joint. Nothing else.
A rigid splint
Locks your whole thumb, so you cannot work in it.
Compression gloves
Squeeze the whole hand and hold nothing.
The Thumb Stabilizer
Holds the one joint. Your thumb still moves. Your fingertips stay bare.

I have a drawer full of braces. A rigid splint locked my whole thumb, so I could not hold the needle. Gloves squeezed everything except the spot that hurt. This holds the one joint and leaves my fingers alone.

My orthopedist gave me six minutes and told me to find a different hobby. He never asked how I hold my needles. I wear this every evening now and I have not canceled one.

I play in a covers band on weekends. My fretting thumb gave out after twenty minutes. This is the first support that lets me barre a chord. Not rigid, not bulky, and the joint stays put.

I garden four days a week and my thumb was done by lunch. This fits under my glove. Nobody notices it and I have not had to stop early since.
Your doctor said stop.
You do not have to.
For everyone who was told to use their hands less.
