Three months after surgery to repair broken bones in my left hand, primarily lower thumb metatarsals and scaphoid. Using an AllSports brace but my thumb pad and the V between thumb and forefinger are too painful to safely hold the grip. I have to grip with my thumb up beside my forefinger. Not good, as the bar gets ripped out of my hand in rough terrain. Anybody been down this road and how did you pad this area to minimize discomfort?
