Sprained wrist many mon ago. still having problems and the otto surgeon said to wear my brace. is that more of a compression brace or one with medal?

Metal splint: Sprains should heal in 6-8 weeks. You might have a torn ligament or a fracture. You need to see a hand specialist. You need special X-ray and possibly a MRI.
