Answers:
Have you had a nerve test to confirm you have CTS!? Well, phase 1 treatments like wrist braces, alternating cold/heat, exercises -try something like those at http://rehabworks!.ksc!.nasa!.gov/education!.!.!.
OTC (try Aleve since Advil didn't work-different active ingredient) and the smart *** stuff (posture, frequent breaks,no typing, blah blah blah) will help even if you haven't confirmed your dx!. Easy, cheap!.!.!.
Then you can get into the yoga, chiropractic, acupuncture, Graston, therapeutic massage, herbs (arnica)!.!.!.
If you haven't had the nerve test, first have a thyroid test as hypothyroidism can cause CTS!. BTW, so can pregnancy (lucky me-c-section & CT surgery scars!)!.
Then comes the big guns!.!.!.frequent physical therapy w/ultrasound & maybe a molded brace, RX (cortisone injections, Neurontin), and on to surgery!. Hopefully it won't get to that with you!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Wearing a brace helps me a lot!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.I've heard it's especially important to wear it at night!. Also, I went to physical therapy for carpal tunnel for a while; they used heat, then used the ultrasound machine on it (why I don't know), and had their massage therapist massage it--that really felt nice!. And not that this is a long-term solution, but Vicodin helps a lot!. Surgury might be an option if these don't work!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Avoid Aspartame in food and drinks!. It appears to affect some of the same nerves!. I've cut it out and very substantially reduced the pain I get from carpel tunnel!.
