In The Morning My Pinkie And Ring Finger Are Numb Could This Really Be Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Could this really be carpal tunnel syndrome? - in the morning my pinkie and ring finger are numb

I went to my doctor and told him that I had some problems lately in my hand. I told him my symptoms are pain in the wrist and numbness and tingling in the thumb, index, middle, and some rings. He said he thinks he is. What bothers me is that on my pinky ring / appear to be affected. I hurt my joints, especially my knuckle ring, sometimes I feel in my forearm / elbow. My left hand feels the effects of less degree.In my right hand, sometimes I feel like a weaker grip strength, sometimes I do not. And the trouble is Motrin does not seem to help. I have weakness in the hands or arms. I continue to look for things on the internet and I'm paranoid that it might be ALS, but my doctor told me it was not. I feel awake in the morning and my right hand is a bit rough around the joints, as in the wrists and elbows. In asking if anyone out there ever had these passes in and what they have done to fix it.

As sure as carpal tunnel syndrome. I had carpal tunnel about 5 years and deal with every day. I can write a letter to his injured hand and froze. Is your thumb, index and middle finger, and only half of the finger with the middle finger numb on the right on the money with symptoms of carpal tunnel. One of the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome is pain in the arm, where the nerves of the wrist for not pinched nerve in the tunnel. You can use the tunnel when the wrist is thin. It may cramp in his hand, if the nerve gets caught in the long term. I went with the surgery because of other problems is best Im with it, if not express the pain or numbness with some pressure on the underside of his arm midway between elbow and wrist downward and backward, their nerve to break the air to the house and eliminate pain. Always keep a splint on his sleep, work, or whatever your wrist is flexed for a long time.
