Severe carpal tunnel: Can be associated with nerve apin, there are medications to reduce nerve pain but carpal tunnel if severe typically benefits from surgery. Arthritis that flares may aslo increase wrist swelling and thus pressure in the carpal tunnel region. See a hand surgeon and speak with your treating physician.
