Hi Everyone

I hope someone can lead me in the right direction on this topic. First I do not want to go to my doctor or company doctor until I have some idea of what is causing the pain. I'm a HVAC worker and have to climb and crawl some times involving heights of 2 stories or more. Twice during the last week my hands have completely locked up meaning I lost the ability to move my fingers for up to 5 to 10 minutes. This only happens to one hand at a time and it has never lasted more than a few minutes. It has occurred many times but never with this frequency and it was always just a sharp pain and lack of movement never a lost of movement. I've been at this for a long time and I know many guys in this field have the problem to some extent when it is very hot. The problem is I do not know anyone who has the problem to this degree. It could be a real problem if it happens when I'm coming down from the roof of a building with tools on my back and I'm loaded down with supplies It is not CTS AFAIK, has anyone else out there experienced this problem or know what could be causing it. Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.
