Currently I am undergoing hand therapy following poor outcome from bilateral trigger finger release. I call these "Medieval Torture Devices". I'm supposed to use splints all night. The purpose is to force my fingers back to natural extension position. It makes getting ready for bed quite an ordeal. Get my headgear and mask on all adjusted as best as possible. Then place silicone patches over my palms (shrinks scar tissue), then put on these splints. Getting one on isn't too bad but putting on the second with my hand in one splint is an heroic effort. Then connect CPAP hose and try to sleep. With splints on, no adjusting mask possible. No scratching an itch and hard to turn over in bed, pull up the covers, or fluff pillow. Most nights I only get 4 hours and then I wake up with aching hands. Have to take them off and then sleep the rest of the night without the splints. They are hard plastic, custom made by hand therapist. I put up with the torture hoping I won't need second surgeries on my hands to release tendons from scar tissue. Looking forward to getting back to just CPAP at night. (My dog's bed in background. Sorry about all the white hairs in photo).
