See your surgeon: Pain in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome is usually caused by another problem. Carpal tunnel syndrome is primarily numbness. You probably have another problem.

Therapy: Scar massage and desensitization exercises can be helpful. However, i would see your operating surgeon to rule out any other causes of sharp pains.
