Carpal tunnel syndrome: how did you make it go away?

I have a 6 month old , caring for him might be contributing to it. It was just that numb tingling feeling, and a wrist brace at night helped. But now it's becoming stronger and even a bit painful overnight.

Ive just iced it, and plan to see a doctor, but I'm scared of needing injections or surgery.

What did you do that helped?
