The answer is broad. You could have pinched nerves at the wrist (carpal tunnel), elbow, or neck. Neuropathy can cause tingling, but that typically starts in your feet first. A thorough history and exam would be helpful.
Need to be checked for carpal tunnel syndrome.
Hi - there are many potential reasons, one of which may be carpal tunnel syndrome. That being said, I would recommend that you see your physician for an evaluation so that you can be properly diagnosed.
There are many potential causes. Most commonly this would be a pinched nerve. The 2 most commons places for this are the wrist (carpal tunnel syndrome) and the neck. However, an evaluation by an orthopaedic surgeon is the most effective way to sort this out. Good luck!
