hi,

I've had this issue now since maybe 2016, the doctor has said to just keep doing my hand excercises and had looked at my hands, they look normal its just that after using them for a long time on the computer they hurt, and when holding heavy bags my fingers kill and rock climbing makes them hurt a lot too. I have been doing hand excercises over the years and it has got a bit better in what i can withstand but they still hurt. The pain is mostly in the middle of my fingers the joints.

im not sure what it is... it came randomly one day.

thanks

    Hello Ethan

    If you have carpal tunnel syndrome it's worthwhile having the surgery.

    I've had both wrists done. I used to wake up from the pain but now It's

    all gone. The surgery was done under local anesthetic one wrist at a time.

      im not sure what it is, its just when i do repetitive motion or carry heavy shopping bags my fingers will kill but after a day maybe they stop hurting.

      i hope it is just RSI.

      Hello Ethan

      There is a simple test for CTS but you will need a requisition from a doctor. If your doctor wont give you one try a walk-in clinic.
