About a week and a half ago I discovered that the area on my right index finger (plus the in-between webbing) was pretty numb. Also found that rubbing across the back of that hand set off some tingling in the associated nerve. No weakness or tingling all the time, so for now symptoms are minor. Not taking any meds, no injuries, and looking online seems carpal is a likely suspect.
Wondering if this may be the cause - ever since covid I've been doing a lot more reading/web surfing late at night with a tablet. I lie on my stomach and prop the tablet against the headboard. Two nights ago I realized that when I use the touch screen my right hand is in the awkward position of being bent rather far back, which I believe is the bad typing position. So for now I'm going to quit reading like that and also do some of the wrist exercises.
I do play golf, but not excessively, and don't notice anything. Have been playing now for over a year and only just noticed the hand problem, so probably not golf causing it.
Opinions?
