A member asked:
If you suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome, what can be done to calm the pain?

Wrist Splint: Carpal tunnel can be very uncomfortable, especially at night when you are trying to sleep. Wearing a wrist splint at night can help. Icing the wrist area can help as well. If these don't help see your doctor or a hand surgeon.
