Ive had carpal for years so maybe its getting worse. I'll have it checked out.

The tingling is in my first finger but not my thumb.

Vicki,

If it's your thumb and first first finger, you could be describing carpal

tunnel syndrome. There is a very simple test available to see if that's

the problem. Minor cases are treated with a special wrist brace. More

severe cases may require minor surgery.

and I had that problem in both hands, bad enough to require the

surgery. It means a couple weeks off work and limited use of the hand for

about a month or two, but no biggie.
