Treat it like arthritis and modify your grasps and be careful of your fine motor skills.\nListed below is the carpal link on webmd...might be handy...

Rest your fingers, hand, and wrist. Stop activities that you suspect are causing numbness and pain. \nIce your wrist for 10 to 15 minutes at a time, as often as once or twice an hour, and take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve pain and reduce swelling. They may help you to relieve symptoms. \nWear a wrist splint at night to keep your wrist in a neutral position and relieve pressure on your median nerve. See an illustration of a wrist splint. \nAlso, do simple range-of-motion exercises with your fingers and wrist to prevent stiffening. Stop if you have pain or numbness. \nGood luck.

Use an intensive healing hand cream. Some good ones to use are Neutrogena and, like someone mentioned previously, Udder Balm. They are both great and work wonders!!

EXERCISE!! Don't let your muscles get stiff. Try a aqua-aerobics class. Ask about it at your local Y.M.C.A.

Stretch for at least 15 minutes before hand and hold each stretch for a 15 second count. You may want to take up yoga which is excellent for increasing flexability and will also increase your muscle strength all of which will help to curb cramping. dont forget to stay hydrated!

Try using the other hand for self stimulation, I did that and it took years, but straightened out nicely, just take note so that it doesn't curve the other way.  It also makes your arms the same size.

Try a cool damp cloth. Not too cold though.

A nice long soak in the tub with a glass of your favorite beverage (wine, mixed drink, sherry etc.) with the lights low and soft music like classical. (Calgon take me away!!!) Use a soothing bath salt or bath beads with scents of lavender or rosemary.  More than likely that long day at work caused a lot of tension to build up. That long soak will help relax the tensed muscles. Before you go to bed take a ibuprofen like Motrin (only if you are still aching).

I would do stretches each morning before you start your day to get you loosened up.  Take a tylenol for the pain, a warm bath w/ epson salt relaxes your muscles at the end of the day!\nHeating pads also help...try webmd.com they have alot of medical advice

There are prescription meds that help.  I recently read about Botox injections helping sweaty hands.  Trying an antiperspirant applied to your palms may help and it won't cost much.

get some c*ck rings, the pressure they deal out to those areas most sensitive helps to prolong the stiffy, but you're going to have a lot of choices, so ask for help and advice from the store, don't worry, they have been asked every kind of question, and still must be professional in sales, and not in the least embarrassing

Try wearing a pair of cotton socks (for your feet's health and comfort) under a pair of wool socks.  Then be sure there is room in your shoes to wiggle your toes.  If your toes cannot wiggle you'll need a larger size because being too tight defeats the purpose.  If your find your feet feel wet then change the cotton ones more often.  \n\n  As for your hands you can do the same, liners in your gloves.  Or there are those heat packs you can put in your pockets.  Be sure to keep your hands and your gloves dry.  If that means a few pairs then so be it.  And there are so many kinds of thermal gloves now days you might try something a bit more industrial strength than normal gloves.\n\n   Other than that movement to keep the circulation going to the tips.  While indoors and warm try squeezing a rubber ball like exercise a few minutes once or twice a day.  Or touch your thumb to each finger using a little pressure when ever you have a minute to do so.  Rub hand lotion on them when ever it is convenient.  \n   And there is always find someone with a "hot" set of ???? and share body heat.  LOL!  Hope you stay warm.

you may wish to start exercising, (like walking, aerobics, etc) it helps with the nervousness and empty feeling. \n\nalso eat things like carrots, celery, apples, i.e. things that are crunchy.  so when you shop with the parents ask them to buy those type of fruits and vegetables, they should last a long time in the fridge and dont cost much. look through the produce section of the market.  \n\nif that doesnt help, you can try sugarless gum, \nknitting or writing or some other hobby to do with your hands.  good luck
