Hello dear

Thanks for writing to us

As you mentioned that you have a history of carpel tunnel syndrome in your right hand though you had it treated by surgery but the matter of the fact is that you have a tendency to develop this syndrome again.
It may this time attack left side, you need to take high precaution.
First of all you have to stop or atleast minimise your work on computer, pressing computer keys enhances the symptoms. Hot fomentation and use of NSAID gel can also help.You can also consult a physiotherapist to help you relieve the pain and numbness by proper mobilization . This can infuture avoid surgical intervention.'

Hope that helps
Thanks
