Brief Answer:
further investigations needed...
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Well, since you've not noticed any improvement despite using the brace, I'd suggest you discuss with your doctor regarding a change of brace size and different way put the brace in the first place.
Ideally, an MRI of the wrist and the affected hand may also need to be done to look for any other pathology (ligaments or other soft tissue injuries underlying) which may have worsened over a period of time. Treatment will be primarily based on the findings (in some cases small corrective surgeries may also need to be done).
Let me know if there're any further doubts/queries...
Take Care
Kind Regards
