Do i have rheumatoid arthritis or carpal tunnel?

My wrists and fingers have been aching a lot, especially when I use the computer for long hours or wake up in the morning. My sister has rheumatoid arthritis, but I also heard about carpal tunnel. How do I know if I have rheumatoid arthritis or carpal tunnel?

Bhai, hand pain can make daily work very difficult. Please go to a good town clinic and show a doctor instead of suffering in silence.

I was terrified that my hand numbness was RA, but it was just a pinched nerve from bad sleeping posture. A few physiotherapy sessions sorted it out completely.

Look, both have different symptoms. Carpal tunnel is mostly tingling in the thumb and fingers, while RA affects joints on both sides. Stop guessing and get an expert's opinion.

I also have severe morning stiffness and clicking sounds in my wrists. Has anyone else here had these symptoms and gotten a clear diagnosis?

With conditions like high BP and joint pains, regular checkups are a must. Don't let these symptoms linger, get a blood test and nerve study done soon.
