Hello, Teacherjy! I can relate to your situation now because I have a friend who suffered from carpal tunnel syndrome. Based on the symptoms you shared, I think it’s carpal tunnel syndrome because the pain was concentrated in your hands. Peripheral neuropathy also takes place in the hand but it the pain spreads to arms.
