I would personally suggest getting a physician approved Carpal splint. A carpal solution essentially works the same way as a wrist splint, pulling at and relieving pressure at the wrist and first webspace. Though it is supposed to be hypoallergenic and not as stiff as an immobilizing brace or splint, the principle remains the same of not wearing it for too lengthy a time, as this might promote muscle atrophy and development of contractures. I think a physican-apporved wrist splint might be more suitable for you.

In addition there are various other treatment modalities that perhaps you might want to try out. These include:
1) physiotherapy
2) subcutaneous steroid injections
3) Dietary changes and modifications
4) using ergonomic hand instruments eg changing keyboards etc.

Hope this helps.

Try a different style of Wrist Brace. I use the type that has the metal support strip in it. It’s a bit uncomfortable at first, but after a couple weeks you get used to it. Be sure to get the style that has velcro so you can adjust how loose or tight it is. You said you tried the wrist support, but how long did you try it for? If it was only a night or two, you won’t likely get any relief that soon. When I started wearing wrist braces at night, it took 2-3 weeks of using them before I really could say I noticed a significant difference. I also put another pillow on either side of the pillow I put my head on. The pillow I put my head on was placed horizontal as usual, but the 2 on either side I placed vertically. Than, when I slept, I would put my hands on the horizontal pillow to help elevate them. Between the braces and the extra pillows, it helped alleviate some of the numbness. It didn’t completely stop, but it helped. It is not unusual to develop carpal Tunnel Syndrome when pregnant and continue to have problems afterwards. It has to do with the additional fluid your body has while pregnant.

Massage, stretching, ultrasound with or without corticosteroids. Surgery should be the last option, once you cut into your body you can’t take it back.
