Could be CTS: Possible carpal tunnel syndrome, or nerve compression at volar wrist. Usually associated with keyboard activities, and typically readily reversible with appropriate therapies. Contact your doctor.

Carpal Tunnel: The median nerve provides sensation for the palm facing side of your thumb, index, and middle finger. Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when this nerve is being compressed. Some are simply predisposed to this, while some cases may be due to poor ergonomics (repetitive motions, awkward wrist angle when typing on a keyboard, etc...). Early diagnosis is important so please see your doctor.
