What are some good ways to relieve carpal tunnel syndrome pain?

My wrist hurts so much these days because of carpal tunnel syndrome.
I was confirmed to have carpal tunnel syndrome at the orthopedic clinic and tried physical therapy and medication, but it only helped temporarily, and after a while, it went back to square one.
My hands are numb all day, and when I wake up in the morning, the sensation is dull and tingly, so I'm having a hard time.
The hospital tells me to use my hands as little as possible, but I have to use them a lot for my job, so that is difficult for me.
It hurts more on busy days, and as my workload has increased recently, my hands have started to tingle more and more.
The tingling sensation is sometimes sharp and feels like an electric shock.
 
And it's not just my wrist that hurts; the upper part of my forearm is stiff as well, so the muscle pain is really bad.
When it was really severe, I went to a Korean medicine clinic and tried acupuncture and infrared therapy. It felt cool and good at first, but I'm not really sure if it was actually effective.
I'm thinking of buying a paraffin hand massager. Is it really effective?
I heard there is a treatment method involving nerve injections or thread injections, but I want to avoid that method as much as possible for now.
Since this isn't like a cold where you just take medicine and get better quickly, I think it's harder to find ways to relieve the pain.
Is there any way to make it better?
My wrist started hurting more recently as work has gotten busier. I thought carpal tunnel syndrome was nothing serious, but my quality of life is plummeting.

      파라핀기 진짜 사야겠네요.
      집에서 하면 편할 것 같긴 해요.

    스테로이드 주사 맞는게 그렇게 안 좋지는 않을 거예요 필요하면 맞아야죠 통증 너무 심하면 상담 받아보세요

    손목 터널 증후군으로 수술도 많이 하던데 수술 할 정도는 아직 아닌가봐요. 스트레칭 꾸준히 하고 온찜질해서 매일 꾸준히 관리해야겠습니다. 저도 손목 아파서 아대 착용하는데 확실히 아대가 손목을 안정적으로 잡아주니 통증에는 좋더라구요. 아대 필수로 착용하고 작업해야겠네요.
