See your doctor: Your symptoms could be due to nerve irritation or pressure, most commonly occurring at the wrist. See your doctor or a hand surgeon for a complete evaluation. You're likely to see significant improvement with treatment.

Carpal tunnel? : It sounds like you may have carpal tunnel syndrome. See you doctor for diagnosis. You could benefit from pt/ot for therapy and an ergonomic evaluation of your work station. A specialist could try a steroid injection prior to considering surgery.
