You've been hurting too long to put it off. You need to go. Wearing the brace and still having the pain is not a good sign - even a sprain should react well to that. If you're having CTS symptoms, it might be worth it to go to a place that focuses on that - they sometimes do VAX-D, too, to find one. When my CTS flared so badly that it was unbearable pain, I called one and got in the same day.
