Carpal tunnel syndrome and trigger finger both affect your hand; causing pain, stiffness, and reduced ability to work or manipulate objects.

Symptoms include:

Numbness or tingling
Hand weakness
Swelling
Tenderness
Locking, clicking, and pain

Hand and Wrist Pain Assessment

An orthopedist can correctly diagnose and treat the symptoms of either Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or Trigger Finger, but take our quiz below to help assess your condition.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when there is compression of the median nerve which runs through the carpal tunnel. This is a small tunnel made of bones and ligaments at the base of the hand. Typically one has numbness and tingling in the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and part of the ring finger.

Check each box that describes the symptoms you experience on a regular basis:

Numbness and tingling in your thumb, index, or middle finger.

Pain/numbness in your hand or wrist at night.

Pain/numbness in your hand or wrist when waking in the morning.

Pain/numbness in your hand or wrist during the daytime.

Trigger Finger

Trigger Finger is one of the most common causes of hand pain and disability. It is a condition that causes pain, stiffness, and a sensation of locking or catching when a finger is flexed and extended. It most commonly affects the ring finger and the thumb but can also occur in other fingers.

Check each box that describes the symptoms you experience on a regular basis:

When you make a fist with you hand, one or more fingers gets stuck, locks, or catches in that positions while the other fingers can be extended on their own.
