Carpal tun. syndrome: Carpal tunnel syndrome (cts) causes numbness, tingling in the hands (usually thumb, index, middle fingers). It is caused by a pinched nerve in the wrist (the carpus). Cts is usually an overuse injury of the hands but can be caused by hypothyroidism or pregancy. A nerve study can help make the diagnosis. The best initial treatment is (are) wrist splints (especially at night) hope you are better!

Numb hands: One of the most common causes of numbness and tingling in the hands is carpal tunnel syndrome. However, this can only be confirmed by some tests done by a provider. I would advise you to see your doctor to evaluate this further and diagnose, as only a good physical examination will give you your answer.
