Anyone used stem risers to get the weight back on their butt?

[Doug Stampfer]

Dealing with an ongoing thumb joint injury & I want to shift the weight back off the bars to my butt so riding isn't so painful. I've seen some stem risers & wondered if they work. I don't ride anything techy at the moment as it hurts too much to enjoy so just pootle around with the wife on easy stuff so not worried about the handling characteristics.
Be keen to hear any feedback.

Try raising the nose of your saddle. Same effect & foc.

I've ran stem risers, but I like taller handlebars better.
