I've been having a lot of numbness in my hands that seems to be happening more and more lately. From what I can tell it's carpal tunnel and it's really bothering me to the point that it keeps me awake. I've heard that wearing hand braces could help but I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this and used the braces and if so did it actually help? My doctor told me there's nothing she can do.
