Hi Shadyglade.
Is it in the middle/4th & 5th fingers? (ie not thumb & index) if not then it isn't carpel tunnel.
You can buy carpel tunnel splints from Amazon which help - or your G.P. may be able to offer you a steroid injection which should relieve symptoms for a while, but is likely to have to be repeated from time to time.
I had what was thought to be C.T. but after 18 months was finally diagnosed as a trapped nerve in my ulna. Due to leaning on my elbows a lot from work (telephone) & repetitive bending etc of the elbow (folding, stuffing envelopes etc). I was off work for a long time |& it was only after changing jobs that I got back to normal.
Go to your G.P. to get it confirmed & ask about the injections.
Good Luck at let us know how you get on.
