Could my year-long symptoms of hand and finger stiffness at night, morning swelling, weakness, and tingling be caused by carpal tunnel syndrome or a bone-related issue, especially since nerve medications and taking Neurobion have not provided much relief and I have not had an X-ray yet?
Your symptoms of morning stiffness, swelling, and tingling could indeed be related to carpal tunnel syndrome, but the swelling and stiffness also point toward a joint or bone-related issue, like arthritis. Since nerve medications and Neurobion haven't provided relief, getting an X-ray is an excellent next step to evaluate your joints. I gently encourage you to discuss this with your doctor, who may also suggest blood tests or a nerve conduction study to find the exact cause and help you get some well-deserved relief.
