Hello,
As you have carpel tunnel syndrome, for pain relief kindly take tablet Aceclofenac after consultation. Apply Diclofenac gel or ointment locally. If not getting relief, then you may require steroid injection locally after consultation. Don't give much strain over that. Give rest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
