Carpal Tunnel: The sensation of numbness of fingers along with hand weakness may indicate that you have carpal tunnel syndrome, which is an inflammation of the median nerve and compression as it passes under the Carpal ligament in your wrist. Treatment includes rest, ice, stretching exercises and antiinflammatory meds. You may choose to wear a wrist brace (available OTC) to keep your wrists better positioned.

Nerve pinching : Best guess is carpal tunnel syndrome. Might use wrist splint. May improve next 3-4 weeks but see doctor if gets worse
