Hello,
The symptoms are typical of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). We have to rule out other causes like arthritis. Consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated. You might require an MRI scan in case of diagnostic confusion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
