I have tendonitis and have since I was 19, so every so often with the wrong twist of my wrist I flare it up! I have the black nylon one for during the day and a stronger one with a 'bone' in it ofr when I'm sleeping. I also just got a small one at shoppers that wraps around the thumb and it's baige.....I wear that one most days. It's not uncommon to have that injury since it's caused by repetitive movements. Parents asked what happened and I tell them "had this for years....no biggie "

I also have a mild case of juvenile arthritis since birth in my knees and legs.....FUN TIMES!
