Hi Simone,
I was not around for a while; hence there is a delay in reply. I would see your reply in neurology forum also.
I would like to know, how is your pain, tingling, numbness?
Has it got better?
Have you consulted any doctor?
If yes, what they have to say about this?
Any imaging is been done? If yes, what is the report?
Keep me informed.
Bye.

Hi Simone,
Does your work involve you to sit on desk top and work?
As per your symptoms and after gathering information from you I think what you might have is Carpel Tunnel syndrome.
I think you should see an orthopaedician and decide regarding further management.
Electro diagnostic studies should be performed if the diagnosis is in doubt or if surgery is considered.
Treatment: Conservative care, including activity modification and splinting in the neutral position, are the cornerstones of first-line treatment.
Tendon gliding exercises and corticosteroid and anesthetic injections may also be helpful.
Hope this helps you.
Bye.

Hi Satan,
What is your name? How old are you?
Is the pain in your first three digits?
Patients with carpal tunnel syndrome complain of pain, numbness, and tingling over the wrist, palm, and the first three digits and the median half of the fourth digit.
When you describe quality of pain, patients with carpal tunnel syndrome will complain of pain, numbness, tingling, and electric sensations in their first three digits.
What are your occupation and hobbies?
More chronic are your symptoms, less likely they are to spontaneously resolve.
Do you ever have symptoms at night that awaken you from sleep?
Have you tried any treatments for your pain and have they helped?
Have you done any imaging study for this pain?
