I suggest having your doctor order a nerve conduction study .I agree that it would be a good thing to consult a neurologist as well. Ask your doc if he /she can order a wrist splint for you to wear at night time ,and if you can wear it in the day try doing it it as well. If you do have carpal tunnel it can provide some relief because when you bend your wrist you put pressure on the median nerve and splinting it takes some of the pressure off of it.Its a simple step and has no inherent risk but as with all medical advice run it by your doctor. I have had a bilateral carpal tunnel release and recently was dx with cubital tunnel syndrome as well as polyneurapathy.My work involves using my hands a lot and I totally sympathize with your frustration.Good luck and heres to a remedy that will really help.
