Take a couple of Ibuprofen before you go to bed. Sleeping is a time when you have multiple hours not stressing your hand; managing to reduce the swelling during that time really helps the tendons recover. From your description is that you are doing the right things.
Be careful about the brace, though. I'm generally not a fan of wrist braces because your muscles atrophy remarkably quickly. The suggestion I got which I trust (but haven't had to do) is to wear the brace at night to keep you from sleeping on it poorly, but not during the day. That way you keep doing some movement.
the brace is making much of the pain go away. im try to make suer i wiggle my fingers and ill take the brace off through out the day, but for now, i think things are bad enough i need it on.
i appriciate the advice a whole lot though. i know how long you've lived with wrist issues.
