Go for proper diagnosis by nerve conduction tests and also clinically by your orthopedician to do both Tinel and Phalen tests.
Splinting or bracing, steroid injection, activity modification, physical therapy, medications, and surgical release of the transverse carpal ligament are the options you should try.
The choice of treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome depends on the severity of the symptoms and any underlying disease that might be causing the symptoms.
Initial treatment usually includes rest, immobilization of the wrist in a splint, and occasionally ice application. Patients whose occupations are aggravating the symptoms should modify their activities. For example, computer keyboards and chair height may need to be adjusted to optimize comfort.
Discuss and follow up in detail with your orthopedician.
Take care!
