Everything was fine except for some small cramps is hands and pain in neck for a year 1/2 I was told after exam that I has severe carpal tunnel in both hands had surgery but things are progressively geting worse now after I bumped my shoulder several months ago. I cant hardly squeeze my fingers or light a lighter. Should I go to ER I fear being paralyzed
