Sounds like this could be carpal tunnel syndrome. Risk factors are repetitive use of your hands and certain medical conditions. Do you use a computer often? You may notice that symptoms are worse while driving. It help to obtain a wrist supprt while using the keyboard and mouse. The wrist support should be used at night.
