Thanks everyone for the suggestions.
I'm amazed you have managed for so long without the surgery, Sheila. I wore one of those splints for 9 months, before I got to see a consultant (UK waiting lists can be much longer at times). I had the surgery about three months later, and have a complete cure (over 15 years now, and still going strong), but it took me almost a full year to be fully recovered, with all my feeling back in the tips of my fingers. I gather that was due to nerves taking a long time to recover, but I have friends who got better much quicker than I did.
