I also have pin pricking feelings in my hands. My nerve test found one had had mild carpal tunnel, and the other had moderate carpal tunnel. I also have problems in my cerebral spine causing stabbing pain in my arms down to my hands.

I have different pain in my hands. It might be the outside 3 fingers which tell me Carpal Tunnel. But if most or all my fingers are in pain or pain in the back of my arms, or in the top of my forearm, then I know is is my spine.

I wear special carpal tunnel braces that should relieve my carpal tunnel. But I have to rip them off in the middle of the night because my hand is on fire from the prickling pain in my outside fingers.
