Some 5 mos. ago I developed numbness and tingling in both hands (all fingers with increasing intensity as you go towards the pinky) and both feet (all toes with increasing intensity as you go towards the smallest toe). There is no pain whatsoever, only a feeling of tightness that accompanies the numbness and tingling. I had been diagnosed through my nerve test that it had symptoms of carpal tunnel. I went ahead and had my CTS surgery for my right hand. The doctor also wants to do it for my left hand, but I’m not so sure now. It’s been 4 days so far after the surgery and the numbness/ tingling are still there. I don’t want to further jeopardize myself for something that is a misdiagnosis and have my left hand subjected to surgery. I really don’t know what to do … and my feet is not tarsal tunnel either according to my orthopaedic doctor. Please help me. I am a father of 2 babies and I just need to get back to work by July 3 (my Medical Leave deadline)or I’ll be out of a job
My husband has had neuropathy for about 6-7 months. We’ve tried differnet ways. The most useful and effective treatment was "Homeopathy" which is a branch of alternative medicine. I have explained thoroughly in my answer to this question. I hope it will help.

dude, u should c a doc.
my mother has CT and Neuropathy. surgery for CT is almost pointless, if you do any type of repetitive motion again then CT sets back in , so your back to square one. are you a diabetic? have that checked too. Neuropothy is a side affect from diabetes. find a good doc and good luck.
It does not sound like carpal tunnel at all. First it is affecting both hands the same and affecting all fingers. Carpal tunnel affects the median nerve and that innervates the first two and 1/2 fingers, the ulnar nerve innervates the pinky and 1/2 the ring finger and the ulnar nerve is not involved in carpal tunnel. Also it is affecting your feet. I cannot say what is going on, but it sounds like a systemic condition, that is affecting your sensory nerves. Make sure you are evaluated for diabetes mellitus. It sounds like you need a better set of doctors.
I just wanted to add one more thing to investigate, Get tested for Lyme disease.
