Numbness is a symptom of carpal tunnel. You should really get it looked at because if it is carpal tunnel it can be fixed. My fingers have started getting numb at times too. My hands also fall asleep at night when I'm not lying on them or anything--another symptom. I also get pinched nerves in my arms a lot now. I'm on the computer all day sometimes at work. That's probably why I don't get on when I get home any more.
