Carpal tunnel in both hands

For the past few months, I have problems with my little finger and ring finger. …numbness and unable to fully straighten my little finger. I have asked to see a GP, but some new triage system even to see a GP. 😫 I think it’s a nerve compression issue because I tend to lie on my side propping up my head with my left hand , when I read my iPad. It’s not painful so I can wait.

My daughter had both wrists operated on, with good results.
Prior to the surgery she found acupuncture was by far the most helpful treatment.

I have RA and had a carpal tunnel op, 9 years ago. I could not believe the instant relief. It had become unbearable.

The nerve conduction tests were negative, but when the surgeon opened up my wrist, he could not believe how severe it was.
I was unable to have general anaesthesia, nor sedation and instead had a nerve block.
It was the weirdest feeling, being fully compos mentis during the op.
I was fortunate to have it done by a plastic surgeon, rather than a general one.
The only issue was that the stitches were so tiny, that the nurse struggled to remove them.

I hope all goes well for you.

Had the surgery about 4 yrs ago I had some numbness in my little finger for about a year after but otherwise it’s been fine since. Good luck with yours.
