Sounds like you have the classic symptoms of carpel tunnel. I have it
REALLY BAD. Sometimes it acts up worse than other times, it is weird. I
have always wondered if there is a strong connection with PCOS and or
obesity. I have heard some interesting information but not necessary
hard evidence. Needless to say, get it check by a doctor. I have to
wear wrist braces at work when I am typing and writing (most of the
time). I always have to sleep with them on. High dosage of Ibruprofrin
helps.
Good Luck and Take Care
