Get wrist braces and/or a wrist support. Sit properly at your desk. Supposedly St. John's Wort helps, but I don't know if that's valid or not. If it gets too horrible, there's surgery, but I'm sure that's not fun.

Why just cope if there's a way to heal it? I'm a big fan of Prolotherapy for healing chronic pain. It doesn't just mask symptoms, it gets to the root cause of the problem and heals it.
"Unfortunately, many patients with elbow and hand pain have been misdiagnosed with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. A typical Carpal Tunnel Syndrome patient will experience pain and numbness in the hand. Because most physicians do not know the referral pain patterns of ligaments, they do not realize that cervical vertebrae 4 and 5 and the annular ligament can refer pain to the thumb, index, and middle fingers. Ligament laxity can also cause numbness. Cervical and annular ligament laxity should always be evaluated prior to making a diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Surgery for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome should not be done until an evaluation is performed by a physician who understands the referral problems of ligaments and is experienced in Prolotherapy.
Seldom do patients find relief from "Carpal Tunnel" complaints of pain in the hand and elbow with physical therapy and surgery because the diagnosis is wrong. The most common reason for pain in the elbow referring pain to the hand is weakness in the annular ligament, not from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome."

Go around in Circle. "when the tingling begins." It's time to begin doing some gentle hand exercise." One of these is a simple circle exercise that rotates the wrist. Move your hands around in gentle circles for about 2 minutes. "This exercises all the muscles of the wrist, restores circulation, and gets your wrist out of the bent position that normally bring on the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.

wear a wrist brace when your wrist hurts, and stretch your wrist by putting your palm on a wall with your fingers pointing up, and then lean into the wall. It's supposed to help.

Braces are good; wrist and forearm strengthening exercises can help; resting wrists and takng breaks from repetitive motion work can also help. yes there is surgery and as I work in surgery, it is a quick procedure and successful.
