Jan

My name is Jan, I’m 65 years old, and I love living an active life. I enjoy walking, working in the garden, and I used to do a lot of DIY projects around the house. But a few years ago, I began experiencing joint pain, especially in my hands. It started with stiffness in the morning, but soon it got worse. Simple tasks like holding a hammer or opening a jar became painful and frustrating. After some research and a visit to the doctor, I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis. It was hard to accept.

What affected me most was the feeling that I was slowly losing my freedom. Things I used to take for granted, like gardening or going for a walk, became increasingly difficult. My fingers were often so painful and stiff that I couldn’t even hold a pen properly. The idea of giving up my passions was something I couldn’t bear.

My physiotherapist suggested I look into silver Splints from We Design Silversplints. At first, I was sceptical. I had never heard of Silversplints before, and I was worried they might be uncomfortable or too noticeable. But I decided to give it a try. After speaking with my hand therapy specialist , I was fitted with a set of Silversplints that were custom-made for my fingers and specific issues.

From the moment I started wearing my Silversplints, I noticed a world of difference. The pain in my fingers was significantly reduced, and I could use my hands the way I was used to. The unique thing about the Silversplints is how subtle they are. They don’t look like medical devices but more like a stylish accessory. I didn’t feel restricted in my movements, but rather supported. I could even choose a matte finish, which made the Splints feel more rugged and masculine to me.

Now, a few months later, I’m back in the garden and can tackle my daily tasks without any trouble. The Splints have not only helped me physically but mentally as well. I feel like myself again, without constantly worrying that my joints will fail me. I can now do what I love without having to worry about my hands. I would recommend Silversplints to anyone with similar issues. They have truly made a difference for me.
