A sign of carpal tunnel or something else?!
Question: A sign of carpal tunnel or something else!?
For about the past month (i know, should go to doc sooner) i have been experiencing pain in my right index finger!. It always seems to be the worst when I first wake up in the morning!. It will hurt on and off throught out the day and will sometimes feel better if I move the finger around or try to "shake it off" a bit!.
Anyone have similar experiences!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yeah, I have carpal tunnel & the shaking out your hands bit is what I use to do in the mornings too!. It was so bad I couldn't sleep thru the night with the pain & had to take time off work coz I couldn't use a computer for more than a few minutes without shooting pain!. My orthopedic specialist told me to use these thermal gloves which have helped great!. I've put off surgery too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
i suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome and what you are describing sounds just like it!. the fact that you say that shaking it makes it better makes me think this, as thats what i do!. your doctor can give you a special splint to wear that should sort you out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
