I work on the computer a lot, and sometimes I wear a wrist brace (throughout the day). It helps a bit, but not a lot. What are some things you've found to relieve carpal tunnel symptoms?

When my wrists start bothering me, I try to take a break from the computer and just take deep, long breaths. I wiggle my fingers, and stretch them, too. In essence, try doing different movements with your fingers, hands and wrists than you do normally. If you're always typing, try putting your hands in a fist, and leaving it like that for a while. It'll definitely help.

Massage Therapy can help to ease some of the symptoms, But in the long run you will eventually have to get surgery Because Carpal Tunnel is the pinching of a nerve between two of your carpal bones in the wrist, and Surgery has been found to be the only way to actually relieve symptoms permanently.

Exercise.Machine operators where I worked did exercises every morning and about every 2 hrs. during the day.Arms extended in front of you...1. make loose fists, rotate wrists (not arms) first one way then the other, like 10 x each way.2. fingers stretched out, push down at the wrists, then up 10x3. open and close hands 10xHope this helps. And don't sleep on it.

Most important is to take breaks during the day, and do some stretching. Sometimes alternate heat and cold helps. But basically, don't stay on the computer for long stretches of time.
