Tendinitis? What can I do now?

I have tendinitis in my thumb for about 15 months. I still have pain and cannot use my hand properly.

I already had anti inflammatory and physical therapy.

Will it still help if I wear a brace at night?

Normally tendinitis will be reduced by rest, but in your case there is something not healing. I would recommend using the brace at night, and beginning some range of motion exercises and strengthening to get it back on track. I'll link you to a few good sites. Good luck.
