Hello, Thank you for using Healthcaremagic. I read your question and understood your concern. This might be carpal tunnel syndrom, a compression of the median nerve in the wrist area. You may need to do a EMG and neurology evaluation. Depending on the degree of the compression the treatment might be with medication or surgery in later stages. Dr. Selmani
