Default Wrist splints

I was scripted wrist splints to wear at night as my neurologist believes some or all of my increasing arm issues are carpal tunnel related. I picked them up on Saturday and started wearing them Saturday night during Doctor Who.

I decided to start prior to bed to sort out how tight to strap them, the answer being not tight at all. I found out right before bed I was rubbing at the base of my thumb with lycraish saw. No good.

So far 0/3 making it through a whole night with them on. I don't even recall taking them off last night. I'll get used to them. I am tempted to borrow my sons Batman cape and start talking in a gutteral whisper a la Christian Bale's take on the Dark Knight.

Any suggestions? I am wearing them
today between light chores. Anything to get accustomed to them. If they provide some relief long term I am in.

So far it feels like I have had light exacerbations to my buzzing and tingling, but the weather also shifted up 40 degrees, so...

60 to 70 in November. I'll take it, but how peculiar.

Jon
