Re: Splint question
I finally got my internet back..... squirrels ate through the wires.
Anyway, thank you all for your replies. I will continue to wear the splint. I just had one custom made, and it's a lot better than the one that the hand doc gave me. But, the doc said that i should only wear it for 4 months. I just know that the splint is really the only thing that's keeping my hand straight, and maybe preventing my PIP from getting worse. I was just wondering if I'm overreacting by wanting to continue wearing it, which you all told me that I'm not. Sometimes we just need that kind of affirmation.  ~Diane

How wonderful that you had such good, long lasting results...  results vary from person to person, some of us are not lucky I guess...
