Switch hands: Learn to use either hand when squeezing that frosting bladder. Lots of people end up with carpal tunnel syndrome from overuse. Take breaks (or even a vacation). Wear a cock up splint at night (to keep from folding the wrist) if that doesn't work get seen by a neurologist or a physiatrist who does good quality emg-ncs studies so you can get good advise about your situation and exclude other things.
