If symptoms are not too flared up, mild hand stretching etc may help. NSAIDS like advil can help as can a cortisone injection in the carpal tunnel area.
If the carpel tunnel is the result of Rheumatoid arthritis I would give the ice a miss. Before I had the problem operated on I found the best thing to do was to hang the hands down near the ground and just get the fingers moving for a while.

What cause carpal tunnel?
Hi, There are no exercises which cause carpal tunnel syndrome. CTS is caused by an inflammation in the carpal tunnel ( which is made up of the carpal bones in the hand and the flexor retinaculum (a ligament) ). The inflammation can be caused by a number of things, eg. artheritis of the carpal bones, tendonitis or any condition that causes oedema for example, pregnancy.

Does workman's comp cover carpal tunnel when you didn't have it before you switched to a job at work that involves a lot of computer work?
Well it MAY..the real question is can you Medically prove that one you didn't have carpal tunnel syndrome before the job switch and more importantly can you prove that the job switched caused the CTS and not just aggravated it or that hobbies or non-work related activities didn't cause your carpal tunnel symptoms? Every state is different, so you need to go to your states website (ie state.gov) It has pretty much been determined that computer work does not routinely CAUSE carpal tunnel. Harvard did a landmark study that you can find. Many lawyers still claim it does....but the cases have gone down quite a bit from the 90's when everybody was jumping on the ol keyboard bandwagon.
