R. Have to agree with this part and what makes it more frustrating.

Things I'd try at the gym: hanging by the hands as long as one can, lat pull-downs, horizontal rows, back machine, seated dumbbell presses, dumbbell front and back wrist curls, all the various standing dumbbell raises, say 3 sets of 12 starting light, and 3 one minute hangs. Twice a week for a couple weeks should make a difference.

R. That's what I would normally do, but considering my injuries, the inability right now to do that, my age (70), the pain and haven't seen a specialist yet for treatment makes it hard to do that right now.

I doubt it's CTS. I notice you didn't try the bike fit advice.
