Thanks for the replies. I am quite keen to avoid surgery as it would be impossible with 4 kids and still feeding my youngest .

I spoke with a chemist about splints but they also agreed that splints and infants don't mix. I am going to try support bandages at night just hve to go and get some.

the pain has eased off a bit today which is good.. Yesterday i was taking panadol for the ache.

My appointment for the nerve conduction test is the 31st March..
