Hi Bizi, I had carpel tunnel release surgery a couple of years ago but as it turns out I did not get any relief from surgery. My wrist pain/numbness/tingling is coming from my cervical area where I have a syrinx.

But like you I found that the wrist brace was digging into my forearm so I went to a medical supply store and got one that comes up my arm just a little bit more and that seemed to help. You could also get a custom made one from a physical therapist. It is molded to your arm and hand so it is a perfect fit. Have you been to physical therapy for it yet? I found that I got alot of relief from the modalities that they use.

Anyway, I hope you get some relief and find something that works for you...Sue
