Hi, I'm 23 years. I'm a guitar player and have been playing for the last 10 years. It's been one week that my left index finger has become numb. I researched about it and the symptom seems to be similar with carpal tunnel syndrome. Or am I wrong, please correct me on this. Also, how should I treat it effectively?
