I have worn a night splint made of hard material with velcro straps. I hated it, crazy uncomfortable and it slid around every time I moved. My mom found a version of the split from a company called Thermoskin. This soft version is much more comfortable and I found them very helpful. You wear them like socks and they have straps to put your foot in the correct position. Not that the pain disappeared but it definitely decreased with regular use of the Thermoskin. I think the website is thermoskin.com. This may or may not pertain to you but losing weight usually helps a lot too. good luck - I know the pain is horrible !
