Not sure: I am not sure what you are specifically referring to. If you meant carpal tunnel syndrome, that is pressure on a nerve in the hand which can cause numbness in the thumb, index, and middle fingers. Nerve compression can also cause some muscle spasms to occur as well. If the symptoms are bothering you, get them checked out by your doctor. You can try a wrist splint as well
