Many people experience pain in their hands and fingers from time to time throughout their lives. If you start to notice that the pain you are feeling reoccurs, then you may need to start thinking about some treatment. One of the most common conditions that causes this kind of pain is carpal tunnel. The pain or discomfort that you are feeling in your hand or fingers may be associated with carpal tunnel symptoms. If you do have this condition, it's best to get a diagnosis early, so that you can do something about it. Numbness, tingling, and pain in the fingers and hands are some of the most common carpal tunnel symptoms. If you have all of these symptoms, then the odds are pretty great that you have carpal tunnel syndrome. However, you should not just assume that this is the case. If you try a self-diagnosis, you may end up being wrong, and you may try some treatment options that will only make things worse. While identifying your symptoms is a great idea, you need to make sure that they are evaluated by a doctor. The best way to determine if the symptoms you are having are caused by carpal tunnel is to visit an experienced doctor. You need to find some hand doctors who have been diagnosing this type of condition for some time. At the Brown Hand Center, our doctors have years of experience helping patients with this condition, and will do the necessary tests to determine if you have carpal tunnel. You will be asked to provide a medical history, and you may be asked to complete a hand diagram or undergo a physical exam. All of this is designed to provide you with the most accurate diagnosis possible. If it turns out that your pain and tingling are carpal tunnel symptoms, you'll be presented with some options for treatment. A lot of patients want to avoid surgery at all costs, and this is sometimes a possibility in cases that are not severe. If, however, your carpal tunnel is interfering with your daily life and causing you a great deal of pain, then surgery may be the best option to make this stop. The doctors at Brown Hand Center will talk things over with you and help you determine which steps you need to take in order to get rid of your pain.
