OP, over 20 years ago this book saved me from doctors who had no clue what was going on: https://www.amazon.com/Its-Carpal-Tunnel-Syndrome-Professionals/dp/0965510999 Maybe it can help you too? It was a year long recovery but it stuck and has kept me out of trouble ever since. I’m so sorry to hear of your problems. So incredibly frustrating. I hope you find relief.
It's probably NOT carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). More than likely it's RSI, Repetitive Stress Injury. Surgery will make it worse. But doctors LOVE to sell you on the idea because they make money. So do the pharmacists and physical therapists. You? You get screwed. LOTS of personal knowledge here; I had misdiagnosed CTS, but lucky me, I found out it was RSI b4 some surgeons could make my life a living hell. Many of my coworkers got sold on CTS surgery. It never works. https://a.co/d/0hXI2rNn
