Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Overuse of computers (clicking the mouse), or median nerve compression at wrist could be the cause. Symptoms begin with numbness and tingling of the first three or two fingers from the thumb side. Nerve conduction studies are quite diagnostic. Treatment is usually by splints and steroid injections. Surgery may be required in some cases.  
Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral.
Take care!
