Default Re: what should i do ?

Very important for you to address the problem well. The last lecture I heard on this (in 1997) said many people chronically flex their wrists while sleeping, so wearing the braces at night was highly recommended. Not sure if that is current. Your hand mechanics probably can be improved: definitely see an occupational therapist or better get a worksite visit. OT can be prescribed by your doctor but still may not be covered by insurance. Also, thin about what you dooutside of work that may contribute.

Workman's comp may apply btw. If you end up needing surgery, talk to Human Resources at your job.

Good luck!
