Go to an ortho first. If you go to a neurologist they will any give you wrist braces, try cortisone injections, or they will bequeath you an EMG test...it's a brass neck conduction test to check for carpal tunnel. If you hold CTS they will send you to an ortho anyway.believe me...I'm a Med Assistant for neurolgists and I aide surrounded by doing the EMG tests atleast 2x a week.

Also lately to let you adjectives know a neurolgist does deal next to Carpal Tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel is a nerve to be precise pinched in the canal tunnel of the wrist.
