How Can Carpel Tunnel Syndrome In The Right Hand Be Treated?

I have carpel tunnel in my right hand. I have been doing a lot of crocheting lately. My right thumb feels a little like it s asleep. Below my thumb, going down to my wrist, if my shirt sleeve rubs against this area, it feels raw. I have a little pain, but not much. Is this related to my carpel tunnel? Thanks.
