P.S... Just wanted to clarify that my symptoms are mostly tendinitis rather than true carpal tunnel. If I get nerve tingling and numbness I really step up the treatment, because my understanding is that when you feel that stuff it means your nerves are being rubbed by the inflamed tissues, and they can get permantently damaged. If I get any nerve symptoms I wear the immobilizing braces and take the naprosyn until it improves. For a while I had a lot of nerve sensations in my left arm, and I finally realized I was resting on my left elbow in my office chair all day, which compresses the nerve in the elbow. When I quit doing that it improved.
