they'll help stabalize your wrist

also use some aspirin before work for preventative therapy and ice mixed with heat and some advil after work if it hurts


if it gets really bad go to the doctor and ask for an anti-inflammatory

yeah, I'd go for the brace as well.

by the way, aspirin and advil are both anti-inflammatories... but I don't see how aspirin can be used to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome.

if the swelling gets really bad, your doctor could also give you a shot of cortisone.

I have carpal tunnel, tendonitis, and developing arthritis...I work at a desk on a computer all day, too...at the end of the day my wrists and forearms usually ache for a little while.

Usually once a day or every other day, one of my co-workers needs to twist my arm(s) and wrist(s) into strange positions to get out the kinks caused by my stupid conditions...

in conclusion...IT FUCKING SUCKS.
