video games, programming (my livelyhood), riding, and weight lifting (specifically bench press) all aggravate my right hand and eventually lead to massive pain (lifting and riding do this) or a throbbing wrist.
As others have mentioned, carpal tunnel has specific symptoms: numbness in the thumb, index and middle finger, which persist during the day and gets worse at night such that it wakes you up. Just general pain or a throbbing wrist may be a precursor to CTS but unless you experience the numbness, you won't be able to say for sure it's CTS.
Get it diagnosed properly first before you try any of the treatments or solutions mentioned.
