Get it checked out: Make sure you don't have any muscle atrophy or loss of sensation. If not then night splints, ansaid's, sometimes cortisone injection. Check your glucose levels and thyroid. Like i said probably better left to your doctor to evaluate.

Splint: Rest, night splint, vitamin b6 100mg / day, over the counter anti-inflammatory meds and ergonomic changes to work space. Ultimately surgery may be necessary.

Therapy: Carpal tunnel syndrome is typically treated with splint immobilization at night time using "carpal tunnel braces." cortisone injections can be helpful on a temporary basis. Nerve gliding exercises and stretching exercises can also be somewhat helpful, though surgery may be needed if conservative measures are not beneficial over the long term.

Splints, surgery: The most common treatments for cts are wrist splints that typically are worn at night , anti inflammatory medications, some advocate steroid injections, and if the symptoms persist, a carpal tunnel release surgery. Surgery typically has a very good success rate.
