I spent 32yrs working on a computer & quilting. When my hands or elbows would hurt I get out the Absorbine Jr horse strength for the feed store . My Maw Maw used it all the time on her hands & arms legs at night . She would put it on here hands after working in the field & quilting then put socks on her hands to sleep with a generous coating . I started the same thing about 25yrs ago still use it to day. I don't have carpel tunnel a lot of people I worked with did had surgery. It smells like spearmint not a bad odor, doesn't stain your skin and it works to take care of the pain. Go to your local feed store for horse ,cows ask for it. Give it a try good luck.
