Carpal Tunnel!

I have had carpal tunnel in my right hand for years, never in my left until about 2 months ago. I'm 33 weeks pregnant and the pain is almost unbearable. It affects my sleep to the point where I want to cry. I wear braces on both wrists but it doesn't seem to help much. Does anyone have any advice on what works to diminish the pain? I'm desperate!

My Doctor told me to hang them off the bed, which sounded like it would make it worse but it actually works a little...at least long enough to fall asleep again before I'm woke up with the pain all over again. It is awful. First time I've ever dealt with this and it's my third pregnancy...
