How are u Megan, Ive got the same problem, but my elbow & ring & pinky finger also hurt & feel numb. Im 21 by the way, but i heard anyone at any age can get it, it really sux. I havent gone to the doctors yet, but i should, i will soon. I recommend u rest your hands first, u need to stop doing damage to them. Then see how u feel in 1 to 2 weeks. If still not much change, u should go to the doctors & tell them what u think u have. You will probably need to have EMG, which is an electronic nerve conduction test, which will be able to determine what u have. Aparently, the test feels wierd & uncomfortable, but nothing to worry about. Just relax, youll be fine. Then, the docs can most likely tell what u have. But. whatever u do, if they recommend surgery, dont jump to that conclusion, there are alot of other methods to heal, try calling chiropracters & physical therapists & massage therapists, & ask them about your problem. There are also certain vitamins that can help healing, like vitamin B6 for example. Just dont get surgery, im certain u can heal in more natural ways. Im 21 & your 15 right? Im young & your even younger, which is even better reason that he can heal without having any surgery! So good luck to u & just keep positive, dont stress, i know its annoying. If u got any other questions, just reply back, & i'll help out any way i can!
