Hey Catch,

I just saw your post - crazy busy with income taxes right now so haven't been on the boards for a couple of days.

It's only my left thumb; right one is OK. I think it's from the left hand staying in the same position most of the time, whereas my right hand (dominant one) does a lot more moving so stays looser. Crocheting seems worse as the left hand is just holding the wool while the right does the actual crocheting.

I would like to try one out. Usually once I stop knitting for awhile my thumb improves but I can't seem to shake it this year. Not into injections (which I know would help, sigh) so your prototype sounds like a great idea.
