the forearm, wrist, thumb, and first two fingers are affected in carpal tunnel. there will be pain shooting from forearm to the thumb area and it includes numbness of the first three digits. If you do repetitive motions all day, typing, filing, hammering, drilling, you are at risk of developing this painful condition. If you ask your pharmacist she will be able to help you choose a brace to help stabilize the joints to minimize pain

The pain comes from repetitive motion. You are doing the same thing over and over again with filing. There are wrist supports that would help stop a lot of the pain you are experiencing. See your medical doctor and ask about what type of supports could help your wrist and arm.
At night time use a heating pad or a hot water bottle on your wrist and arm. Afterwards apply an analgesic balm. This will relax the muscles and help reduce the pain. Ask your medical doctor for anti inflammatory medication to reduce the pain.

It looks like you're "spanking your monkey" to much.
