this started when i was pregnant last year. i have numbness in my hand when i use hair dyer, when i drive, when i write, and when i sleep at night laying down my whole hand goes numb and it hurts up to my elbow. my dr said it would go away after i have baby but a year later it is worse. my dr gave me the splint to wear and it feels much better. monday i am doing the merve conduction study. is this cts?

If your numbness is in your thumb, first and second finger, it could be CTS. If the numbness is in your pinkie and ring finger, it might be Cubital Tunnel Syndrome.
