Hi all

I have just been told by my GP that I might have carpal tunnel syndrome. I am being referred to a rheumtology specialist at guys hospital.

I have been expericing pain for the last 6-7 months in my fingers and lately I have been getting alot of pain from my elbow, thumb and wrist. Also get the numbness and tingling feeling aswell. The main pain started in my little finger during the night and I could not move it for a little while. It also felt like my knuckle had come out of place.

I would be interested to hear about other peoples experiences of this and wonder if my symptoms are the same as anyones elses who has been told they have CTS.. Would also like to hear about peoples treatments they have had whether drugs or surgery. Ie did they have drug treatment first or was given the surgery option straightaway.

Thanks in advance for any responses.
