the pain in my ahnds comes and goes during the day and night. The
pain I get isn't numbness its mopre of a pain feeling and sometimes
I have to shake my hand but that doesn't work. I was thinking that I
could have Carpal tunnel but maybe my pain in my hands is coming
from my neck from when I was rear ended in May! I will just have to
wait until I get my MRI done and see what the doctor tells me. When
my pain in my hands started I had shooting pains in my fingers so
maybe that could be carpal tunnel but I don't know!

What causes Carpal Tunnel?

Thanks for your help!
