Go and see GP and have it checked out as CT can also be a symptom of a compressed vertibrae in the neck, amongst other things.
diet, alcohol and body mass also effect CT. its a right fucker. go and see yr gp and get some free supports, dont settle for the shitty NHS light weight ones, ask for a pair of serious ones that wont break if you dig the garden in them. Yoga = yes, but it is relief not a cure.
I manage my CT with spazzy looking gloves and spongy bartape [i also had to ride with high BMX bars for 6 months to re-strengthen me arms WAC] your riding position may have to change for a bit and also the distances you ride.
final solution for me will be operation on both wrists, which i am NOT looking forward to, and am putting off BIG time. doctors warned me that the condition is degenerative and that i eventually may loose full use of hands if i don't have the op.
PS. i had pretty bad CT for about 2 years before going to see a GP which in retrospect was a bloody stupid move.
