Finger tingling: I will comment on the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, or cts. Cts is when the median nerve becomes "pinched" within the carpal tunnel, which is in the wrist. Patients can get tingling, numbness and/or pain on the palm side of the hand, specifically in the thumb, index and middle fingers. When conservative treatment fails, surgery is recommended to fix the entrapment.

See below: Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition in which one of the nerves that passes through the wrist into the hands gets compressed. The symptoms are aching in the hand and wrist as well as intermittent pins and needles usually in the thumb, index, middle and half of the ring finger. It is often worse with driving and can be bothersome at night. It can be caused by a number of different conditions.
