huh. i always get that stuff at Walgreens too...
do you have insurance? when my thumb and wrist were jacked up, they made me one out of warm molded plastic that hardened to my hand and it did wonders. but that doesn't help you, of course. it might not be sprained. could be tendonitis? even more imperative that you rest it. :(

I'd recommend calling first to see if they have what you want before you drive all over town.

Hope you are better soon!
