Been diagnosed with it since I was 19 or 20. That's what I get for always using the computer too much. Go see a hand specialist and have them do an EMG test. I have not had the surgery, figured it would be better to try and treat it non-surgically first. They gave me shots of Cortizone in my wrists once which didn't help. That's not something I would recommend because I was told by several people that it's very unhealthy.
Get yourself some wrist braces and commit to sleeping with them at night for at least a month or more. If you can keep yourself from sleeping on your hands or curling them up, you'll drastically reduce the amount of discomfort that you have. Also, something like Alieve or ibuprofen might be enough to help. If they're not, there are a bunch of prescriptions for the inflamation.
On a homeopathic note, you might want to try MSM. My dad swears by it.
