hi. two things that help with that kind of injury 1 is a massage from massage therapist doing a carpal tunnel protocol. 2 use a rubberband or hair tie, on the outside of your fingers to make opening your hand harder. this will help with the swelling and force the muscles in the lower forearm relax. I have had much success with my clients using these two things. Also using one ibuprofen 200mg and one tylenol at the same time you will get alot more pain relief then using high dose of one by itself. just don't use it to hard as pain meds cover pain they dont get rid of the issue. Good luck and may your life be wonderful.
