Re: Thumb and wrist soreness on T Sax (OT)

Make sure you are not pushing the sax out with the right hand. Allow it to fall backwards. ie Try playing in a downward angle . This might take pressure off the left hand. It’s not a textbook playing position and it does twist the back slightly but your priority is a relaxed left hand and thumb.
As has been mentioned you might try other neck straps as many people have good results with shoulder harnesses etc.
