Whew, gotta be careful about carpal tunnel syndrome, especially if you're at the computer a lot. It's a lot easier to prevent problems than fix them.

I doubt you'd want to, but if it gets really bad, wearing a wrist brace can really reduce the stress you're putting on your wrist. If you don't want to wear them at work, you can also wear them while you're sleeping to keep your wrist in a more comfortable position.
