I suffer mildly, thanks to some hints my doc gave me. When I notice it flare up, or the pain starts, I get home and put my brace(s) on, especially overnight. This gives the wrist a break without you neding to ensure that it's in the proper angle to relieve that pressure the best. If that doesn't work, or the pain is stronger, then I take a Motrin - which helps with the inflammation - and then follow it up with the braces. I tend not to use the braces at work as they do slow typing down, but I found that using them at home either on weekends or overnight has helped me considerably. I went from suffering terribly from it to now barely noticing it and wearing the braces very, very rarely.
Hope you get some relief!
