Welcome to the club girl. I have had carpal tunnel, mostly in my right hand for over 30 years because I was a secretary and did a lot of typing, originally on electric typewriters, if any of you are old enough to remember those, and I won't go into the manual typewriters that I learned to type on. The computer keyboard made it a little easier, however, by wearing the hand brace at night it keeps your wrist supported so that you won't torque it during the night by getting into not so great for you positions. They can be a little problematic while wearing them during the day - I recommend getting elastic Hand-Eeze, it is similar to a glove in that it looks like a glove without fingers but covers the fingers just before the hand, covers the hand and up the wrist and arm for a few inches. You can find these in Nancy's Notions and also some of those catalogs you get in the mail, however, I've just had a brain cramp and can't remember the names of the catalogs. I'm pretty sure I got my last pair at Nancy's Notions, and when my wrist is really bad, I wear it during the day and it allows quite a good range of motion while supporting the wrist. I know this is a long reply, but these are things I have done over the last 30 years which have helped, not only at work, but for sewing and quilting as well, especially quilting. Good luck, but by using these supports the pain is manageable and they help with day-to-day activities. Hope you are feeling better soon. You're not alone, as millions of people suffer from carpal tunnel because of repetitive motions.
