Well, I got my wrist splints yesterday, I'm still trying to get used to them. They were a little more expensive than I thought they would be, so I got a good one for my right hand, and a cheaper plastic molded one for the left hand, for now. I'm being sent for therapy, thankfully they referred me to a hand therapist in my hometown, instead of having to travel to the city all the time!
But in time I'm sure I'll end up having surgery on my right hand, as it's getting worse, but that's my own fault I guess.....I use it too much! lol

Jamie, i totally agree with Deb, actually i didn't know you could even buy splints for carpal tunnel, i made mine up myself, i only found it helpful for sleeping only as it restricts your normal hand usage to much during the day.

If it comes to having to have the op, for me it was a real breeze, i was done down at the Geelong hospital at the day surgery part, only takes a few hours and was allowed to go home about an hour after the op.
