1. pain,numbness with severe hand pain might signify carpal tunnel syndrome, since it is most common pathology in my clinical practice.
2. A physical examination can help determine if the complaints are related to daily activities or to an underlying disorder, and also to rule out other painful conditions.
3. before visiting your doctor, you can take OTC [over the counter] drugs like ibuprofen,aspirin and immobilize the wrist in splint
