Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs through your wrist, becomes squeezed or compressed. This leads to pain, numbness, and tingling in your hands and fingers. To treat the irritation, over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or naproxen can help reduce pain and inflammation. For more significant relief, a doctor might recommend a corticosteroid injection directly into the wrist to quickly decrease swelling and pressure on the nerve. Since you are experiencing symptoms in both hands, I highly recommend consulting a physician for a tailored treatment plan, which may also include wearing wrist splints at night.
