Over the last several months my CTS has been getting worse and worse - it first started in the last few months of 2008 and come and gone with little to worry about. However, since moving to the States the carpal tunnel has gotten worse to the extent of breaking my sleep routine. Both hands are affected and I would wake up multiple times a night with one or both hands losing all feeling in the last three fingers. Then it started getting worse - while driving, while knitting, while cooking - the feeling would drain out of those fingers.
