    I, too, have carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands.  Numb fingertips
    and throbbing in the thumbs, index and middle finger have
    progressively worsened over the past 12 years.  A year ago I leared
    it is CTS.  Didn't like the approach of my neurologist who suggested
    wearing wrist braces for 3+ months and then re-evaluate (for
    more$$$).  So I went to an accupuncturist, who is also a licensed
    dentist.  He learned Accupuncture to treat his own CTS, so he would
    not have to give up his own dental practice.  I've had great results
    from just two treatments over 8 months.  I'm due for another, but
    it's not urgent. 

    Find a good, reputable accupuncturist (preferably also a licensed
    doctor, since accupuncture is not regulated or certified), and I
    trust you'll have as good results as I've had.  I'm able to
    effectively make my jewelry and small sculptures, setting small
    stones and crafting tiny components, and dropping them far less
    often!  Good luck.
