Nerve pressure anywhere in the body will cause a feeling of numbness, pins and needles - and sometimes pain - in the area of skin that the nerve goes to.
The median nerve goes to the skin of the palm of the hand and supplies the area over the thumb, index and middle fingers.
Carpal tunnel syndrome typically causes pins and needles in the palm of the hand over the thumb and the next two fingers. These pins and needles are sometimes painful but not always. Sometimes the area of skin goes completely numb but again, this is not always the case.
If you think you might have carpal tunnel syndrome then you should consult your doctor for a check up and for further assessment of your symptoms.
