Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

According to the GP who I saw this morning that is what is causing my hand problems. For the last 6 weeks I have had numbness and tingling (sometimes so severe it feels like the fingers are on fire) and lately I have had a few tremors in them too. The GP is going to refer me to the hand clinic at the hospital and tells me that I am likely to need splints or surgery to sort it out :( Hopefully i won't have to waitto long to see the hand specialists :D
