Answers:

Classic carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms. Sleeping in wrist splints at night may help. Carpal tunnel syndrome is most often a repetitive strain injury. The more you use the affected hand, the worse the pain and numbness. Taking advil or other anti-inflammatories can help, but sometimes the relief is only temporary.
