My hands hurt

Also try a heat pack at the base of your neck. When these muscles get tight or tense for an other word, that can effect the muscles in the arms all the way down to the finger tips. I speak from esperience. Good Luck!

in carpal tunnel, your hands don't cramp. the arm becomes unbelievable numb or simply tingles incessantly. there is pain but not in the hands. I've had the surgery on both hands and wow! it felt so much better even the moment I woke up from the surgery

Also try slow easy stretches... my hands cramp and get very sore if I don't do this several times a day.
I like to use rice bags first to warm them up, and will also gently massage them :D:D:D

You didn't mention whether you tried resting your hands. Try that. It's extremely hard - I know because I'm supposed to be resting my hands and arms right now!
See a DR. A month is long enough to put up with pain in your hands.

My sister had both of her hands done at the same time, and while I don't recommend that, she was pretty much over all of it in about a week...
