[QUOTE="donna723, post: 184194, member: 1883"] I don't know what the classic symptoms of carpal tunnel are but my son has been diagnosed with it and he's scheduled for surgery. He works 12-hour shifts as a welder and apparently that's what did it. With him, it's been really weird. His ring finger and little finger on each hand refused to bend when he tried to bend them! He held out both hands and tried to curl his fingers up and those last two fingers on each hand would still be sticking straight out ... then all of a sudden, they'd bend. It's like the nerves were delayed in relaying the message that he wanted them to bend! He's right handed and the right one was giving him more problems but the doctor told him that actually his left hand was a lot worse than the right one. He has no pain or problems with either of his wrists, it's all in his hands. I think the nerves to the hands go through a little opening in the bones of the wrist, but the problems it causes are felt in the hands and fingers, not really the wrists. [/QUOTE]
