Suggest Treatment For Pain And Tingling In Wrist

I felt some pain in my left wrist while moving furniture last week, and in the following days its become stiff and I do not have full range of motion. There is a spot right at the pulse point that is fairly painful when I press on it. My thumb, forefinger, and middle finger have been numb for several months. My doctor had me wearing a brace at night, and said it could be carpal tunnel. I have had no X-rays or further evaluation, and the brace has not stopped the tingling. Is it likely that I've injured, possibly even broken a bone, or could it be another manifestation of carpal tunnel? I have an appointment with my doctor to check in Wednesday, but wasn't sure if I should wait that long if it might be broken. The pain is moderate, but manageable as long as I don't press on the painful area.

HI
Well come to HCM
This is not because of Tunnel syndrome or due to any other disease but this may be due to some uneven compression, some time peripheral nerve compression are there and this could be the reason for this, keep the arm under the sling for sometime, in rest position, if this is paining then, "Tab Diclofenac 50 mg once in day can be used, hope this information helps, have a nice day.
