Yes: It could be carpal tunnel syndrome or other nerve compression problem in addition to early arthrtitis with the morning stiffness. I think a visit to your doc would be very benificial.

I have constant pain in my left wrist (and lately the right too). When I wake up most of my hand is numb or tingly. It takes 10 minutes to an hour for the feeling to come back. Could this be carpal tunnel? Should I see a doctor?
