Wrist splint hurts worse then carpal tunnel

Wrist splint hurts worse then carpal tunnel

My doctor is out of the office , or I would be calling him. This was the first night at day at work that I have had my splint on. When I woke this morning my wrist was worse then before. I still had the tingling sensations and my fingers were numb. Then at work, as I used my hand in the wrist I noticed a pain I didn't have before. It's really an aching feeling.

Is this normal? I know that I should not expect the splint to be a miracle. But my wrist hurts in a different way, and worse then before.

I'm actually begging a Dr. to answer this. I've posted here before, and didn't get a response! Please.

If the splint is not properly placed and does not fit you then you have symptoms. But also remember the splint will not do wonders over night and i advice you to visit your orthopaedician soon.
Stop wearing it if you have different symptoms than before, and  your pain intensifying. Take care!

I Had surgery last Thursday for DeQuevains- I'm back at work (Typist) with no splint and no real idea of what I should or shouln't be doing. You are all talking about a splint. I don't have- should have one ?
Should I be at work? The doctor only gave me to monday off and said see how I go.
