My Grandfather was big vitamin advocate. He was already 95 when an old girlfriend got Carpal Tunnel and he said to tell her to take a B-complex vitamin for it. I passed that advice on. In two weeks she was pain free. Gave the same advice to a professional guitarist friend a couple of months later. He was pain free in a week.

One of the B vitamins (honestly can't remember which B vitamin, though) is responsible for holding moisture in certaining tissues, including the tissues that line that tunnel. The tissues need fluid to protect the nerves in that tunnel from getting irritated and swollen.

Try taking that B vitamin complex for a couple of weeks. See if it helps.
