Wrist tendonitis. i take my splint off all the time. now if i ask for a hard cast that i can't take off for a few weeks so it can rest. do you think its a possibility my doctor could.work with children?

Rest : Rest is the best cute. Other options are steroids and physical therapy. Bottom line: you have to work with your doctor and talk about options.
