Well I had CT 5 years ago. I went to the Physio and she did masages and made me wear the splint all day and night for about a month, in this time I was going to the Physio 1 time a week, I didnt feel that what she was doing was making it any better although the splint was FANTASTIC!!!.

THEN my physio also did acupuncture, she did this on my CT and I have never had any pain after that!! I would defiantly recomend this before you go to the extreme of an operation. It dosnt always work for everyone, but i do think it is worth a try when you have children.
