I'm not a doctor and I don't know enough about your case to know with any degree of certainty. However, if the pain gets better with the use of the splint, it's likely that it's related to what happened to you. Maybe it's a trapped nerve? I would suggest that you not try to wean yourself off the splint until you've consulted your doctor and I don't think you should wait three months. Give your doctor's office a call, describe the problem and ask for an earlier appointment. It's quite possible that this is something that'll disappear as you heal, but I think it's important to get it checked out, just in case.
