Spoke to a GP on the phone and he said he would like me to continue to use the wrist splints for eight weeks, as they can take a long time to have a good effect. If no better after that time, then need to discuss having an injection.
I have, previously had steroid injections into my shoulder and into my hips with great success. However, ones that I had into my thumbs were extremely painful and gave me no relief.
Thanks to everybody who replied to this thread.
