Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
They then admittedly gave the offer to someone who was less qualified. There were other red flags throughout the job offer process that the HR team should overall be ashamed of.
Disney Streaming Services I completed my interview process with DSS early last week, and was reached out by recruiter that all rounds were strong hires, and they are extending an offer. We set a time to talk on Friday about the offer. However, the announcement of targeted hiring freeze happened on Friday. I was ghosted with no call. What should I expect now? Would I still have chance to be offered?

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.
