Detailed Answer:
Hi Mr XXXXXXX
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms and current medical problems.
Your symptoms are suggestive of carpal tunnel syndrome, where a nerve tends to gets entrapped at the level of wrist under the skin.
This can lead to pain, burning, tingling and numbness of wrist, hands and fingers.
The diagnosis can be confirmed by neurological examination and nerve conduction studies.
Initial treatment consists of pregabalin or gabapentin capsules.
I hope my reply has helped you.
