Afraid to get pregnant due to carpal tunnel

To those of you who got carpal tunnel during pregnancy, how did you live with the pain? My first part of pregnancy went great. Then I developed carpal tunnel syndrome the last couple months of pregnancy. The last month was extreme torture and no sleeping. I just cried. I didn't get steroid shots because I was afraid it would harm the fetus even though there are no real studies showing it does.

I want to conceive again but I'm afraid of getting carpal tunnel. I have permanent carpal tunnel since pregnancy but not severe only in certain positions. My WFH job doesn't help either. What should I do?
