Are you sometimes woken up in the middle of the night with a painful
numbness in your hand/fingers? Do you have to shake your hand or rub
it to get it to go away? Are you prone to drop things?

Those are some other signs of CTS.

CT feels like a burning numbness sometimes with shooting pains that
go from your wrist up your arm or from your wrist to your fingers.
I'm not good at describing things, but I hope this helps.
