I believe the symptoms (which can be looked up via the internet) are numbness in certain parts of certain fingers, followed by some pain and weakness in the same hand.

JES: Maybe you should look up other wrist problems, like cysts or arthritis type stuff. I know these can make the wrist grind and crack and hurt? Good Luck

Hi Jessica
There's lots of different problems which can affect the wrists & some have very similar signs & symptoms. Best thing to do is go & ask your doctor to have a look. There's lots of different tests they can do so I'm sure the doc will be able to tell you what it is & help get rid of it.
Good luck.

My CTS symptoms are numbness and tingling in the thumb, index finger, middle finger and 1/2 of the ring finger; pain in the wrist; dropping things, weakness; hand going to sleep while driving, holding a telephone. I could go on and on but these are the main symptoms. EMG/NCV tests are usually done to find out if it's CTS or not. Hope this helps.

The best way to tell if you have CTS is to tape your wrist if you feel tingling there is a good chance it's CTS. You can also put the top parts of your hands together for 60 SEC and if you feel tingling it's mostly CTS. The best way to know for sure is to go to an orthopedic Dr and he will send you for nerve tests. CTS can also cause shoulder pain and pain going up your arm. And things dropping out of your hand. Also weakness.and sharp pain in the wrist. These are all the symptoms I had. People with thyroid disease also tend to get CTS, Witch in my case I have. I'm recovering from surgery I had on Tuesday. My right hand, So far So good.
