Research stretching exercises for arm, wrist, fingers. Heat first to warm muscles, stretch, then finish with cold pack.

I have moderate carpal tunnel in both hands. Don't do anything for it just tolerate. MD said if gets worse to go back in.

I had this problem in both hands, several years ago.  I never had surgery.  I was sent to a hand therapy specialist, who used paraffin wax  baths to the hands.  Once the wax started to harden, this was removed and hand exercises done.  The purpose of the wax was used for warming.  I had exercises to do at home too.  I used the hand splints every night for many years.  You can still see  a hand specialist, also called an Occupational Therapist.  Try to use surgery as the last option, unless your doctor feels it is necessary, as indicated in an mri.  Good luck with your problem, and yes it is on the conditions of fibromyalgia.

I've had it for over 30 years- ever since my first job. My rheumatologist diagnosed it in July. Told me to try wearing the braces to see if that helps. If it doesn't it would be surgery next. I never asked a doctor about it before because I had been told by people that just because you have a surgery- it can still come back again if you are doing the same things- which I was.
