Hi, Thanks for your question on HCM I do understand your pain and discomforts As per your clinical history is concerned your problem is suspected as [carpal tunnel syndrome] so to confirm you need a physical examination by your doctor first. Tell him to check your little finger first as you will not feel any pain or numbness due to your median nerve dose not provide any sensation to it. Secondly check whether you have problem in sensation while holding cell phone, newspaper, gripping a steering wheal or waking up during the night. If yes then first treatment will be conservative like [wrist splinting, NSAIDS,Corticostrroids]if no response a minor surgical procedure[endoscopic method] will be performed which will solve your problem permanently. Hope that helps
