K, so a sort of back story to this. I'm finishing up a HU session on Wednesday night. When I stopped, my left pinky and ring finger felt kinda numb/pins and needles. I just thought maybe they fell asleep. I wake up yesterday morning and it's even worse, but when i get up it goes away, for the most part. during the day I feel a weird pain in my elbow, but i dismiss it. Right now as I type, I feel the same sensations in my left ring and pinky fingers, while feeling nothing in my right. So, my question is, do I have carpal tunnel or the onset or whatever of it (I don't quite understand it yet, never dealt w/ it obv), and if so, wtf do i do.

the nerve cords entering your hand come in through a hole in your wrist, constant repetitive use can cause the nerves to swell and rub etc in the small hole.
I think

Carpal tunnel for the most part doesn't fill like pins and needles. Your wrist will get sore or ache. Sounds to me like your arm/hand fell asleep.

Could just be muscle strain. Carpal tunnel mainly comes from typing, not clicking of the mouse.

This could be it. Once I KNEW I had bad carpel tunnel and went to the doctor. He said it was a bad muscle strain and sent me to physical therapy for a few weeks and it then got better.
In any case, see a doctor to find out for sure.

just an FYI but you can avoid this by switching to the other hand occasionally when you rub one out
i'm not saying, I'm just saying

You might have tendonitis. Do you have a "creaking" type of feeling when you move your wrist or elbow when you move them?
