I'm fifteen and for about a month I have an odd sensation in my left hand pinky that I can only describe as numbness. It's almost as if my hand fell asleep, that kind of tingling feeling, but it won't go away. I'm right handed, by the way.
My mom had Carpal Tunnel surgery about a year ago. She was in her early forties, and has a history of severe arthritis since childhood (if that's important at all). For about two years before surgery she complained of numbness and tingling in her hand. Later on it turned to burning and shooting pains. It affected her forefinger, middle finger and ring finger. She never specifically mentioned her pinky.
I play several instruments, type stories on my computer sometimes for hours on end, embroider only with my left hand, and I'm afraid it might be something like carpal tunnel. My mom had surgery, and the sensations are gone but she cannot sew anymore and complains that her hand is weaker than it was.
Does it sound like Carpal Tunnel? What can I do?

Esto es un tema que me toca de cerca porque casi tuve que cerrar el taller (soy mecánico) porque no podÃa usar las manos. Empezó como un hormigueo y solo fue a peor por cabezota, no quise darle importancia hasta que no podÃa ni sujetar una herramienta.
En mi caso me recetaron ejercicio para bajar de peso y practicar con giros de muñeca más suaves, parece una tonteria pero me ayudaron una barbaridad.
Ãnimo, aquà tienes más ayuda.

You definitely need to see a doctor about it who will be able to rule other things out and diagnose you officaly, if he thinks that's what you have.
