Thanks to this group, I’ve recently starting using the night time supports. It’s adjustable so I am able to keep my Fitbit on underneath, though I imagine it would be best to remove at night. But I use the Fitbit as my sleep monitor…. AND, my sleep quality and time have improved since wearing the supports!! I’m not being awoken by paralyzed hands and fingers and having to shake them back to life. My sleep and arm positions are taking less thought. I bought Meuller Nighttime Support Brace, and love the low weight, and the palm supports. Thanks to all of you on here that steered me to this help!
It does sound like carpal tunnel. I read somewhere that one technique to differentiate between carpal tunnel and other neuropathies is that CP tends to always affect the same finger or fingers and with sensory neuropathy, the sensations move around.
Agree completely with @johnbishop that this is a question for a doctor, though. A neurologist might be best, especially if wrist supports don’t seem to help.
