Question:

Answers:
I would recommend that you see a neurologist and have a nerve conduction study (EMG) performed. This test can rule out any nerve damage, such as De Quervains or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Proper and early diagnosis can allow for various conservative treatment options before something more invasive is required.

Despite popular belief that you can only get CTS from repetitive motions or prolonged use of a keyboard, the fact is that the human body wasn't made to last as long as we ask it to these days and some functions, especially around the smaller bones, just break down.

How much time do you spend on the computer XD
