Hard to say: Could be a pinched nerve or circulation issue. Hard to say without a thorough history and exam. Was this trauma related, repetitive action related, longevity, duration, does it change over time??? See a Dr.

I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome (through history and bending wrists). My main symptom is when typing at my computer for 40+ minutes , my palms turn red and my hands feel very hot, burning even (rather than tingling). Is this really CTS?
