Do you think these would be beneficial at all Jeremy? I read somewhere that this can help alleviate carpal tunnel, not cure, but help. What are your thoughts?

Very unlikely - from first principles of mechanics they are working on structures which are on the opposite side of the wrist to the carpal tunnel. Remember however that I think it's quite unlikely you have CTS anyway so it's not impossible that they might help whatever you do have :-) JB

I don’t know man I really am convinced that I have it. Like I said I noticed tingling in the sun and the first three fingers and sometimes the pinky. I remember you had wrote some thing on here somewhere, stating that CTS usually doesn’t involve the palm? Sometimes very rarely I’ll feel a tingle up through the middle of my hand as well. And if I start doing tedious activities with my fingers I start getting pain in my thumbs and in the base

It still sounds more likely that you are just over-using the hand but without nerve conduction studies it is going to remain highly uncertain what the problem is. JB
