I have been fighting Carpal Tunnel Syndrome better than 30 years, now. The reason I am writing is I have found that you need to try several treatments till you find what works for you and somedays will reguire completely different treatments. Main thing: don't assume just any wrist brace is the right one. Try several different wrist braces while the wrist is hurting till you get it right. My current favorite is a bowler's wrist brace. Try heat, cold, massage, squeezing your hand, numerous positions. You may find alternating heat/cold(I prefer more moderate cool/warmth) or a combination of other things work. What works one time may not the next, so try something else. I have definitely seen an improvement doing this, the pain and tingling occurs less often and not as severe. Good Luck!
