My neuro thinks it could be carpal tunnel and I have been wearing wrist splints at night and it doesn't make a difference. My fingers feel swollen and tender and it gets more difficult to type.
Are you in a relapse right now, or is this an ongoing problem?

I get that feeling in my hands (they are normally slightly numb), but all the other sensations, plus EXTRA numbness, come on during a spinal lesion attack.

Are ALL your fingers numb, or is it just a few of them? This defines MS-numbness, vs. Carpal Tunnel.

A sore back is also an indication of spinal lesion activity for me. I can have pain in one area for weeks, or the pain can shift around. It is a quite sharp (vs. dull) pain, and I have only one chair that I can sit on during those periods. It can let up suddenly, ie. one straight month of pain, then miraculously I wake up one day and the pain is gone for months (or years).
