Signs of carpal tunnel syndrome and trigger finger
Carpal tunnel syndrome often starts with numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, and middle fingers, which is frequently worse at night or when holding a phone or steering wheel. Over time the hand can feel weak or clumsy, and people may drop things. Trigger finger causes a finger or thumb to click, catch, or lock when it bends. It is often stiffest in the morning, and there may be a tender bump at the base of the finger. Numbness that wakes you at night, weakness, or a finger that locks are good reasons to see a doctor.
