Brief Answer: Nerve conduction test may help... Detailed Answer: I understand your concern I have noted your complaint The possibilities could be 1. Nerve root pinching at the cervical cord level (at the level of neck) 2. Nerve compression at wrist, called as carpal tunnel syndrome Some times, people can have a combination too. I will suggest you to get examined by a local neurologist and then a Nerve conduction test (test which will determine the site of nerve block. A test done in all most all neuro-lab and can be done on office- basis without any admission. You need to check your blood sugar level and thyroid function test which are the common causes of these symptoms and these are easily treatable. If nerve conduction test come normal, I would then order for MRI scan of neck. I urge you not to ignore the current symptoms and visit your doctor as and when possible. I hope I am clear. Let me know if you need any help Best wishes
