Simple cure for ulnar tunnel syndrome

My, this experience with the ulnar nerve cant be forgotten. It was in August 2009 that I suddenly felt a tingling sensation on my right little finger. I ignored it for a week and continued with my usual chores. Later I found that all my fingers on the right hand had swollen. It was then that I was diagnosed with ulnar tunnel syndrome. Thanks to the bad ergonomics at my work place. Simplest of all cures would be
1. Use of wrist splint.
2. Hot water therapy - This is a must.
I had not taken any pain killers or anti-inflammatory drugs. These are the only  two things that I followed regularly for 15-20 days and I am sure it would help others too.
