Patricia, I had this sort of problem with my thumb (too much pulling out lace-making pins!!) a couple of years ago, and I found that as soon as I got into the rigid support, the pain went very quickly. I only had to wear the splint fulltime for a couple of weeks, then the tubigrip type of thing whilst I was still doing lots of things with my hands (like unpacking after moving!!)
Now I only wear the rigid splint on my thumb as a protection when I'm lacemaking....I realise your condition seems to involve a lot more of your hand/wrist than my problems, but don't give up hope - my experience is that some activity causes this condition to flare up occasionally, but --- once controlled, it does seem manageable.
