Capal Tunnel

Pretty sure I'm having a flare-up in my right hand. Besides bracing, compresses and exercises is there anything else I can do to relieve some of the pressure? My middle, ring and pinky fingers are almost completely numb and my wrist is so achy.  

And for those who had it...how long did it take to get better after having baby? I had mild issues with it pre-pregnancy, will that make it stick around longer?

I had to have surgery to fix my carpal tunnel issues.
