Well, I sacked out with the wrist brace last night,a nd yeah it
s a PITA but I think it helped a bit. My arm felt better this morning,
but I had to take it off for work, but I'll strap it back on when I
get home.

Why can't you wear the brace at work. That may be where you are
getting injured.

it is, but it's kind of hard to hold a hammer or other hand tools
with the wrist brace on.

Get a less restrictive brace, like the wrap around cuff. That may
point out a bad habit you have that is making your problem worse.

The one I had that worked the best was a wrap around with velcro closure.
It had a plastic D ring where you'd pass the end through, cinch it up, then
go backward to get the velcro to attach. Wear it on the thickest part of
your forearm. The explanation I got was that the tendons in there "twang"
like guitar strings, and putting it there cut the twang the most.
