Hi Mazzy - sorry for the delay. My work colleague said it definitely made a huge difference to her pain and she would have no hesitation in recommending it. It doesn't last forever though and, five years on, she feels that she has probably had the best of it now.
She had the first one done on a Friday and was back at work on the Monday - although she did drive with the splint still on against recommendations. The second one was done on a Tuesday and she was back at work on the Friday. She was determined not to take much time off work but I think the advice is to maybe take a few more days to recover than she allowed herself. She is very driven, works full time and also has a family still at home and is determined that RA won't stop her doing what she wants to do.
Hope this helps.
