Has anybody here ever had this condition. I have recently changed jobs and have been going through this. My fingers on both hands are falling asleep and I have been getting awful cramps in my hands. I just went to the doctor and he told me I had Carpal Tunnel. He gave me prednisone for it and told me that I probably will need to see a specialist. It seems to really affect me at night when I am sleeping and it wakes me up. The cramps in my hands really hurt. Has anyone ever had the surgery that gets rid of this? and did it help?
