I didn't think to ask her if I can take it off to sleep or should I keep it on? I have had it since Friday and I took it off to sleep.

Hello, I have a sprained wrist and my doctor told me to go get a splint, which I did. He mentioned that I should wear it for 14 days. But I don't know if I have to wear it at night too, he didn't mention that. My brace is a Formedica multifunction.

Hello madam, as the wearing time may depend on the type of injury, you will have to contact your doctor for the exact answer.

Hello, my sprain is not severe. I am a daycare worker so he wants my wrist to move as little as possible. I can't reach my doctor. I'm meeting with a sports medicine doctor on Tuesday for a cyst puncture. Could I ask him? In the meantime, do you think I can wear it during the day and take it off at night to go to sleep?

Thanks

Yes, you can ask your doctor tomorrow, or your physiotherapist if necessary.

Some conditions require the splint to be worn at night at bedtime, I cannot speak for you as I do not have the precise information on this, I am sorry.
