It might be worth a call if you have something like that near you. My husband had a sad wrist and tingly fingers. He ended up with a brace and a few weeks later a steroid shot. It is better now but he still sleeps in the brace because he feels like it keeps him from over bending it in his sleep. He’s much better now. The best to you on finding an answer. Nagging pain is zero fun!
