    You could start by going through the symptom questionnaire at carpal tunnel net This will give you a better idea of how likely you are to have CTS than you get from non-professionals. Dr J Bland

    Hi Jon I found warming mine up helped a lot. Plus you can always take some anti inflammatory and pain relief to keep it at bay a bit.

    You could also try steroid injections first. Mine lasted 10 years before I had to have surgery. You really need to get it properly diagnosed first, so schedule an appointment with your doctor.

    Hope that helped.
