First night wearing splints

I had my first appointment yesterday, and last night wore the wrist splints for the first time. I was woken after two hours sleep by terrible pain in my thumbs and the back of my hands, worse on the left hand, by 2.30am I was in so much pain, I had to take painkillers and remove the splints. Please could you tell me if this is a normal reaction, I am a bit worried about wearing them again!
Would really appreciate some feedback.

Thank you

No not a common reaction at all, in fact I've never known anyone report that. I would just try one hand tonight, make sure it's not fastened too tightly and see if the same thing happens to one side only. JB
