When my carpal tunnel flared up seriously, (from hypothyroidism) during my pregnancy years ago, the pain
went up my arm just like you describe. Most drugstores and
even WalMart have the wrist splints affordably. They can help quite a bit. They are worth a try when pain is a huge issue. Often more than one thing can be going on you know.
