Carpral tunnel?
And is there a way to treat it without an operation?

I've had it before, and 2 of my friends have it now they both wear wrist braces all the time

Is it permanent... the using of the braces?

I think it's to stop the movement that aggravates the inflammation, to allow the tissue to heal. I guess theoretically, if it is allowed to heal then your problem is gone, however if you are doing a repetitive activity (like ironing, as in the case of my friend who has an ironing business!) it will probably happen again.

I see.
I think it may be from the angle I hold my hands while typing.
(Not that I have been diagnosed with it, but I have sharp pain in my wrists and think that could be what it is, or close to it.)

Once I overheard someone saying something about taking in a certain type of nutrient or vitamin or mineral that could help,
but I don't remember what exactly it was.
I should probably do some research on that because I'd rather go the route of not having to resort to operation, if it is C.T.S.

can you change the height of your chair and desk

so your arms are at right angles and get a wrist rest to elevate them a little
