I understand your concern. Usually in such cases patients complain for tingling and numbness sensation. Because of which you avoid using your hands and muscles get weak and you start feeling tired and unable to work with that hand. So I would advise you to do some strengthening exercises which will help you to gain strength and recover soon.
Make some modifications in your daily lifestyle so that you are prone to do those activities which you are avoiding because of tingling sensations like washing clothes, hold glass of water from affected hand, keep the daily necessity items on the upper drawers so that you have to do some efforts while searching them, opening/closing of cub board keys etc. There are n number of activities that you can do from your hand to make them strengthen. You can tie a rubber band in between your fingers and thumb, stretch both the ends, it will create a pressure on your fingers and hands.
Make a habit of doing massage daily over the affected area with your thumb as thumb kneading.
Excess intake of water to flush our toxins from your body and heal it fast.
Have healthy diet food like green vegetables, juice, fruits etc
Do some meditations regularly.
Exercise of the affected area on regular basis.
Do not lift heavy weight. First start doing daily activities and then progress to weight lifting.

There are many other modifications that can be done in your dialy life styl to keep your healthy.
For any doubts please contact.
Be healthy and Get well soon.
