After my first and crippling attack of CTS, I wore wrist braces for several years, plus took an NSaid to reduce inflammation and I made sure I got RD dose of B6 (which is supposed to aid healing???). At the same time, at my job, I traded my electric typewriter for a computer keyboard which causes much less stress on the wrists. Eventually, I got well enough to leave off the wrist braces, etc. Now, however, due to too much computer mouse clicking, I have recurring wrist pain, so I always keep a good pair of braces handy.
