Has anyone used splints to help with ulnar deviation and do they work?

I have also seen silver rings that can be worn on fingers to help keep the fingers straight. Has anyone used these and do they help?

    I had the silver rings and they were novel and pretty but I don't think they helped.  Someone I know had their doctor tell them it couldn't possibly make a difference.  My insurance paid for them.

    I still have the copper bracelet that was supposed to bring about a cure...I would save the money for something else.

    Following with your rheumatologist on a regular basid, faithfully doing ROM several times per day, staying warm, resting flaring joints...we actually have so much more control today than we had 30 years ago...hugs
