Hi. It seems that you do have carpal tunnel syndrome in which there is numbness and pins and needles esp at nights.You will need a test called EMG to confirm this .
Also do you have neck shoulder pains or pains which radiate from the neck down to the hand.This can happen in case of cervical discs.
if not then its CTS and surgery to release the pressure off the nerve will give you good relief.
This is day surgery and can even be done under local anesthesia
