These problems have to do with accumulated muscular tension which over time becomes "permanent". It can be removed but it will not go away on its own. Muscles will start to stick together and more and more movement patterns are impaired. In the body, everything is connected to everything, so it is more useful to work on realigning the body as a whole.

As you have found, most regular doctors know nothing about such things and have no interest in learning.

You must now embark on a Healing Journey. You can take a self-help approach or you can spend a lot of money paying various
therapists to help you. Or you can do both. The types of therapists that may be helpful will be various kinds of "bodyworkers" - massage therapists, myofascial therapists, Rolfers, Hellerworkers, etc. Maybe some chiropractors. You might look into yoga and other types of stretching. You need to spend time checking into various approaches and helpers to see what and/or who works for you.
You can make all the progress you want on this. Its just a matter of how much you want to learn and how much time you want to spend learning about and working on yourself.

Here are some very special books that I highly recommend:

I have to say my hands feel uncomfortable just reading this. I remember moments when the smallest movements would feel like they are about to break my hands. I hope you are seeing progress though.

Is it the aiming or pressing the buttons that aggravates your condition? I used to switch my hand and used left hand one day and right hand another day. I also used a mouse that is vertical (and it sucks to use it but at the time it was perfectly helping).

This is the mouse: https://www.amazon.co.uk/3M-EM550GPL-Optical-Ergonomic-Wireless/dp/B001H9UGD4/

I further used application to avoid using mouse in general. I have basically the whole linux environment that allows me to rarely use mouse.

For example, in the case of a browser, I use a vim plugin. This means that I can press hyper-links without using my mouse.

I also remember in one review that stress is a factor. I can't tell you what helped exactly, because I have reoriented my life around it, and tried to many things. Was it the tread mill I had? Was it the sport I did all the time?

I am at the point where I am also more happy and slightly less stressed. And that apparently is a factor too. Stress in general - which incrases inflammation - which is the "source" of the issue in hands. I am also taking a bit of aspirin and ibuprofen pills (and occasionally use the topical cream). They are anti-inflammatory which means they might be addressing the source of the issue. Prolonged inflammation affects negatively the cellular environment.

I also have the powerball now (two months) and I should try it more. But I am more hopeful about the back-stretching.

Do you notice numbness/tingling more in some parts of the hand (such as the top or base of the Palm or in certain fingers).

Dr. Scott Fried has a routine in his book: http://www.amazon.com/Carpal-Tunnel-Helpbook-Self-Healing-Alternatives/dp/0738204552/

Nerve flexing is more of a stopgap measure to prevent you from becoming worse. Of course I still recommend only using the routine under the supervision of a physical therapist or chiropractor.

Although this is a short booklet i found it very useful:

At some point there is nothing wrong with your arms and everything that is wrong is the hypersensitivity/pain threshold of your arms/connections to your brain. this book talks about that and can help you start to overcome that.
