I May Have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, What Specialty Doctor Should I Consult With?

I did the Phalen’s Test (you should try it as well, it’s just a 60 second test) and I think I have Carpal Tunnel.

I have to schedule an appointment to a specific doctor to avail my HMO (not US), I just don’t know which specialty? (e.g. occupational therapy, physical therapy, gynecologist, pediatrician, etc.)

    You should pick up some carpal tunnel wrist braces while you wait to see a doctor. They immobilize your wrists while you sleep and prevent any more damage to the nerves. If you ever wake up with numb fingers that’s most likely what’s happening.
