You do not need surgery. Rest easy friend.
I am a few weeks into au naturale treatment of my "severe" carpal tunnel as they called it and I'm feeling so much better.

It was mis-diagnosed as cervical radiculopathy (piched nerve in the neck) for 7 months, physical therapy that exacerbated the problem and everything. Despite that, I'm already feeling great improvement and I am willing to bet you can too. My entire arm was completely numb for months on end. I felt like chopping the damn thing off. No one having any idea what the problem was really bothered me. One EMG test later and voila, carpal tunnel diagnosis.

  1. Anti-inflamatory diet. Look it up. Change how you eat and what you eat. This is huge.
  2. Braces. You're already doing this. Wear them 100% at night and as much as you can during the day. Take them off for stretches obviously and to let your skin breathe, then put em back on.
  3. Anti-inflamatory meds. Ibuprofen800's. Twice a day.
  4. Supplements. Since I dont eat fish (which are a great anti-inflamatory food) I went and got fish oil pills. I also got vitamin b6, b12, and tumeric/curcumin suppliments. I can't say whether they're helping or not because I'm using them in concert with everything else, but I dont think they're hurting. Hell, even a placebo sugar pill would help if someone told you it would.
  5. Stretching. This is key, but it has to be done right. Check out this book, get it shipped to you used. I was suggested it, and its great. Read around online about it, its widely regarded as great advice. https://www.amazon.com/Conquering-Carpal-Syndrome-Repetitive-Injuries/dp/1572240393
  6. Don't listen to the wrist surgeon who says surgery is the only option. When you're a hammer ever problem looks like a nail, ya know?
  7. Check your posture. You're probably sitting at your desk wrong. All your body parts are connected to the others; you'd be amazed at how doing certain things can jack up other parts. For instance, don't sit at the desk typing and use the armwrests for support, putting lots of weight on them. That will jack up your wrists.

    I was scared when my EMG test results came back too. A trusted friend revealed he too had been diagnosed with carpal tunnel, but didn't get surgery. He suggested that book too. It's about a 4-month journey to recovery, but its totally possible. People that go for surgery are going for the quick and easy route. You don't have to.

I bought this one after not finding a right-y at my local drug store.

It’s comfortable but not helping my symptoms which is why I have an appointment with an ortho next week.
