A picture speaks a thousand words
I got an email from a recruiter from PayPal about a position I didn’t apply for. How do I know that? Because on workday you can see all the jobs I applied for. I applied for one position in the company but got reply for another position I am not interested in. The recruiter wants to set up a phone interview? How would you react? Because I would love working there, but not in this position,
Would you say something during the phone call or before?

If it is really bad, go see a doctor. I had carpel tunnel release surgery and was back at work in a couple of days. They will likely recommend some physical therapy or other affordances before surgery. The most important thing is to have the condition documented by a doctor in case you need to take off time or get some additional office equipment.
I had that problem years ago. I wore a wrist brace all day and also slept in it. It helped a lot. Now I use a track ball mouse on the thumb and I no longer have pain.
Cut out dairy - that causes inflammation. Hopefully the relief will give you a few more years before you also need to cut out meat.
I’m 2 years vegan and my joint pain went away within a month. It comes back every time for a couple days when I enjoy pizza
Agree with the comment above. Go see a doctor. There is a simple surgery to fix the issue.
While you wait for a doctor's appointment, you could get one of these clay hot/cold pads. Just put it in the freezer for a few hours and place your wrist on top of it (be careful not to make contact with your bare skin, though). They have worked for me when I need to sooth inflammation or even warm my hands and feet:

Ergonomics are so vital. If you’re in a pain state, setting a timer every hour to do a back of hand stretch and bring more blood flow in is helpful. Early in my career, I had carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms because I was so clenching the mouse, but I moved to a stylus pen, and that helped a lot. And the *essential* massage therapist will work up the arm, even into the shoulder to help with blood flow. Start with stretching regularly, and massage.
