When I got my issues "with CTS" tested, the guy doing the nerve testing recommend wearing wrist braces at night. He pointed out that no matter what, sooner or later we end up in a fetal position with our wrists curled while sleeping..much like our fret wrist is supposed to be when playing the guitar.
This is what causes the 'damage'.
Combining this with repeated & numerous full days at a laptop, and lots of playing in the evenings, is when my symptoms appeared (on both wrists actually).
I noticed very quick improvement in my wrists when i started wearing the braces to bed, and trying to conciously straighten my wrists while sleeping/wakening. I only needed them for a short while.
