It could be due to diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Get checked to rule it out.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition in which there is pressure on the median nerve -- the nerve in the wrist that supplies feeling and movement to parts of the hand. It can lead to numbness, tingling, weakness, or muscle damage in the hand and fingers.

Carpal tunnel release is surgery to treat carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome is pain and weakness in the hand that is caused by pressure on the median nerve in the wrist.

THIS CAN BE REMOVED BY PROPER PHYSIO-THERAPY. BUT IT TAKES ALONG TIME. SURGICAL INTERVENTION SHOULD ALWAYS BE AVOIDED WHERE PRACTICABLE.
