The night splint that I got from my doctor came with a removable wedge insert(it went between the bottom of your foot and the splint). When I told my doctor that I was having pain in the back of my ankle, he suggested that I remove the wedge. It made the world of difference. The wedge was over stretching the heel muscles. I can wear the splint now for any length of time. It really helps in the mornings, but as the day goes on, the soreness comes back. If your splints have the wedge, take it out and see if that makes a difference.
