    If you type a lot or do the same thing repetatively, it might be RSI rather than Carpal Tunnel.

    see a doctor.

    I get RSI problems occasionally. I just do something else for a while. Wood working really helps a lot.

    When I had carpal tunnel, the symptoms were: numbness in the fingers, me being unable to do up my shirt buttons, but no pain at all, just numbness.

    If you die, that's a strong sign.

    You would be looking and numbness and pain affecting all your hand bar your wee finger and some of the 4th finger (the one you'd put a ring on)

    Your thumb may feel weak as well....

    But the best way to know would be to go to a Doctor
