I've been wearing the splints for four weeks now and the pain is just as bad. What else will the professionals do? I have to go back to the surgeon next week.

Hello

Are you under the pysio did they give you the splints??

It depends what is your condition and what medications you need to take, The GP is the next port of call as you both know what regimes have been taken.in the past.

Possibly are your wearing the splints for too long or too shorter periods.

You are in partnership with your GP, for your health problems
