29 September 2024
I am Veerle, 23 years old, and I have always suffered from joint pain due to Hypermobility Syndrome (HMS). Although I am still young, this condition makes my joints extremely flexible, which often leads to pain, instability, and injuries. Things that others take for granted, like typing, writing, or carrying groceries, can quickly become a challenge for me. It has had a significant impact on my daily life.
With HMS, you sometimes feel like your body is letting you down. My joints, especially those in my fingers and wrists, often slip out of their normal position or simply don’t feel stable. Even simple activities, like carrying a bag or opening a bottle, caused pain. I also noticed that I was often tired because I always had to pay attention to my posture to avoid injuries. Although I’ve lived with this condition since I was young, I was constantly looking for ways to support my joints without restricting myself.
On the recommendation of my occupational therapist, I got in touch with We Design Silversplints. I had heard that they specialize in custom-made silver splints, which help with joint stabilization without completely restricting movement. That was exactly what I needed!
I had to take my referral to a local instrument maker. This We Design partner measures the product from We Design and looks at my health insurance coverage.
From the first moment I started wearing the Silversplints, I noticed a huge difference. My fingers and wrists received the support they needed, allowing me to carry out daily activities with less effort and pain. The splints helped keep my joints stable without making me feel restricted in my movements. What I particularly liked was that the splints are elegant and stylish. They didn’t feel like a medical aid but like a subtle piece of jewelry that significantly improved my quality of life.
Now that I wear my Silversplints daily, I can focus again on the things I enjoy, without constantly worrying that my joints will give out. Writing, working on my laptop, and even hobbies like painting now go much more smoothly. I also feel more confident because the splints are beautiful and match my personal style.
We Design Silversplints has truly made a difference for me. Their personal approach and attention to detail made me feel heard and ensured that I received a solution that perfectly suits me. The splints provide the support I need without getting in the way. For anyone dealing with hypermobility, I wholeheartedly recommend Silversplints. They’ve given me back control over my body and my life.
