General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Good day and thank you for posting this question. The specialist you will need to see is a neurologist. He is skilled in doing test and examination on you to find out what was wrong with you. The neurologist would be able to differentiate whether you have tendinitis or carpal tunnel.
I hope it helps.
Thank you.
