and ive been taking tons of breaks and trying to stretch my hands and wrists a lot

i think i might just go to the doc sometime.... its finals week so i can prolly get in pretty quick...
OK, just wanted to check. If there is pain in other parts of your arm as well as your wrist, it generally indicates a nerve entrapment somewhere else besides your wrists (in which case it would not be true carpal tunnel syndrome). There are alot of muscles in your arms that can entrap your nerve and produce symptoms almost identical to carpal tunnel.

Stick to the stretching. Do as much stretching as you can.. then do a little more.
