Need some medical advice, Doctors, nurses and other medical semi-pros of the OT

Sounds like those little fingers weren't prepared.

It’s called working.

Go to a bone and joint doc. My kid just got diagnosed with carpal tunnel and right now it’s medication and wraps but if it doesn’t improve it could mean surgery.

How old are you?

26, turn 27 first week of September.

This is my biggest fear, my mom had carpal tunnel stemming from over extending her hand during a fall and had to have surgery.

I find Fred's anger very off-putting.

Could be pinched nerve in the wrist (carpal tunnel) or in the back of your elbow where your "Funny bone" is (cubital tunnel) or in your spine.

Try icing these areas to reduce swelling and see if you can find the problem area. If it's your back it's probably close to your shoulder blades. If it's wrist or elbow you can wear a brace while you sleep to keep that joint straightened.

I've had this before and it sucks because it would wake me up in the night with a burning or numb or freezing sensation in my hand.

Don't ignore it because nerve damage can become permanent if left unchecked.

I'm not a doctor just experienced the same symptoms and I'm good at research

I had surgery for carpal tunnel in January. There wasn't much pain after surgery and I was able to use the hand from the beginning. I just had to limit lifting for a couple of months with that arm. No physical therapy was required. I also had ulnar entrapment surgery on the same arm at the same time.
