How to deal with discomfort of Carpal Tunnel?

as if things for me are not bad enough yesterday i was diagnosed with carpal tunnel in my right arm. This really SUCKS! I am already dealing with so much damn pain from my knees already I just cant deal with anymore! Now the pain in my hand and wrist (and on a bad day all the way up to my shoulder and neck)is driving me MAD!

Anyone got any suggestions on what i can do to relieve the pain? I am already on some pretty strong pain killers for my knee so dont tell me to take Tramadol (cant take that stuff) .

Thanks for any tips that you have

Update:

I have one of those wrist braces (god is it uncomfortable but i use it)

    Have you tried a brace or support also some anti inflammotory drugs might help. Check the compatibility with all other meds first.

    Heat wraps also help as do TENS machines.

    This might all be well worth a trip to a physical therapist. Most insurance plans will cover a few visits.

    Heat, wrist brace, I was on vitamin B6, it helps some people, me it didn't. I finally had to have surgery.
