Hi
I saw my neurologist a few weeks ago and based on the symptoms I've described (burning in hands while driving/typing, hands falling asleep at night, etc) he is pretty sure I have carpal tunnel. I haven't had an EMG yet but I've been wearing a brace at night to see if that helps.

There are exercises you can do too. Look on you tube or google. I had surgery on both of mine. Hugs
It’s true good answer how I got mine diagnosed was with midwife x
